-induced apoptosis of pancreatic islet β-cell line INS-1. Methods INS-1 cells were divided into five groups
i.e.
a blank control group
a negative control group
a positive control group (EX-4)
and two EXf treatment groups (with EXf final concentration 10 and 100 nmol/L separately). Each group included at least 6 wells of cells. The abo
ve groups (except for the blank control group) were exposed to 100 μmol/L H

to induce INS-1 cell apoptosis. EX-4 and EXf with different concentrations were also given simultaneously in the positive control group and the EXf treatment groups
respectively. The effects of EXf on the viability
morphological change and apoptosis were observed using MTT assay
Hoechest 33342 staining and DNA ladder assay
respectively. Results Compared with the negative control group
the EXf treatment groups had significantly increased viability of INS-1 cells (P0.01) as proven by MTT assay
showing a positive EXf dose-dependent manner. The EXf treatment groups also had an obviously decreased apoptotic cell number and an obviously increased normal cell number as proven by Hoechest 33342 staining. EXf could remarkably inhibit the occurrence of DNA ladder with a dose-effect manner. Conclusion EXf can remarkably inhibit the H
