The vitality of cells in all the 4 groups was assessed by CCK-8. The expressions of poly ADPribose polymerase (PARP), cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 (Caspase-3) and Caspase-8 were detected by Western blot. The vitality of cells was detected by CCK-8 and the vitality of Caspase-8 was detected by CaspaseGlo assays after adding ZIETDFMK, a specific inhibitor of Caspase-8. The expressions of myeloid cell leukemia1 (Mcl1), BclxL and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot.
