APG-1387-induced apoptosis in caspase dependent manner. a Cells with or without addition of Z-VAD-FMK. Morphology of cells exposed to different treatment groups photographed under a fluorescence microscope (original magnification × 10). b APG-1387 was coadministered with or without addition of caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD-FMK). Cell viability was determined by the CCK-8 assay. c Western blot analysis of the effect of APG-1387 with or without addition of Z-VAD-FMK on caspase-3/PARP expression level in SKOV3 cells. d Western blot analysis of the expression levels of IAPs at different concentrations of APG-1387 in SKOV3 cells. e Cells were treated with different time points, and the effect of APG-1387 on IAP family members expression level was determined by western blot. Data represent one of three experiments yielding similar results
