The A549 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were treated with 125, 250, and 500 μg/mL LLTPs for 48 h. Then, the cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) three times, suspended in annexin V–FITC binding solution, mixed with annexin V–FITC and propidium iodide staining solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), and cultured at 4°C in the dark for 15 min. Finally, the apoptosis of cancer cells was analyzed by flow cytometry (FACSCalibur, BD, NJ, USA) [15 (link)].
