Figure 2From: Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides in human monocytic leukemia cells: from gene expression to network constructionCharacterization of F3 induced cell death in human THP-1 cells. Phase-contrast microscopy was used to detect the morphology of the control (A) and F3-treated THP-1 cells (B). Cell shrinkage, shape irregularity, and cellular detachment were observed in F3-treated cells, but not in the control. The control (C) and F3-treated THP-1 cells (D) were stained with 4, 6-diamidino- 2-phenylindole (DAPI). (E) The percentage of chromatin condensed cells. There was apparent difference in cell morphology between the un-treated and F3-treated THP-1 cells.Back to article page
