Abstract excerpt
AIM: To determine whether interferon-alpha(IFNalpha) can enhance doxorubicin sensitivity in osteosarcoma cells and its molecular mechanism. METHODS: Cell viability was evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Apoptosis was studied using Flow cytometry analysis, Hoechst33258 staining, DNA fragmentation assay, as well as the activation of caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose)...
