Evaluation of canine OS cell lines for apoptosis following LLL12 treatment. Canine OS cell lines treated with vehicle or LLL12 for 24 h. Apoptosis was assessed by measuring activated caspases 3 and 7 (A) using the Sensolyte® Homogeneous AMC Caspase-3/7 Assay kit. Experiments were performed in quadruplicate and repeated three times. The same canine OS cell lines were treated under identical conditions as above and stained with annexin V-FITC/PI and analyzed by flow cytometry (B). Normal canine osteoblasts were treated under identical conditions and stained as above (C). There was a significant increasing trend in caspase activity for all lines except OSA 8 (p<0.01).
