Effects of DL-buthionin-(S,R)-sulfoximine on Taurolidine induced cell death in HT29, Chang Liver and HT1080 cells. HT29 (a-c), Chang Liver (d-f) and HT1080 cells (g-i) were incubated with either the glutathione depleting agent DL-buthionin-(S,R)-sulfoximine(BSO) (1 mM), Taurolidine (TRD) (250 μM) or the combination of both agents (TRD 250 μM + BSO 1 mM) and with Povidon 5% (control) for 24 h. The percentages of viable (a, d, g), apoptotic (b, e, h) and necrotic cells (c, f, i) were determined by FACS-analysis for Annexin V-FITC and Propidiumiodide. Values are means ± SEM of 9 (HT29 and HT1080) and 4 (Chang Liver) independent experiments with consecutive passages. Asterisk symbols on brackets indicate differences between treatment groups. *** p ≤ 0.001, ** p ≤ 0.01, * p ≤ 0.05 (one-way ANOVA).
