From: Hsp90β inhibition modulates nitric oxide production and nitric oxide-induced apoptosis in human chondrocytes

Figure 5

Hsp90β silencing diminishes the cellular death of chondrocytes induced by nitric oxide. Determination of apoptosis levels by flow cytometry (A) or ELISA (B) in chondrocytes exposed to 1 mM SNP. In the flow cytometry assays, data are represented as percentage of apoptotic (hypodiploid) nuclei, whereas the ELISA experiments show absorbance units relative to basal conditions (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01 vs basal or SNP-treated, as indicated). Data represent the mean (±SE) of three independent experiments performed in duplicate.
