Induction of apoptosis. Untransduced DHDK12 cells (A) were treated with MTX, GCV or the combination of MTX plus GCV for 24 h. Transduced DHDK12 cells (B) and transduced HT29 cells (C) were treated for 24 hr with (filled square) or without (open square) MTX. Cells were transduced with TG 9344 at the indicated times after MTX washout and 48 hr after transduction were treated with 20 μM GCV for 72 hr. Quantitative detection of apoptosis was determined by biparametric flow cytometry analysis of fluorescein labeled-annexin V cells and PI. Apoptotic cells were annexin V positive, PI negative. Data are expressed as the mean ± SE from at least three separate experiments. * P <.05 vs untreated cells
