- Figure 1.
Effect of 10 Kampo medicines on UV-induced cytotoxocity. Near confluent HSC-2 cells were replaced with PBS(−) containing different concentrations of Kampo medicines. The cells were then exposed to UV irradiation, and the viable cell number was determined as described the Materials and Methods. Each value represents the mean±SD of three independent experiments.
- Figure 2.
Effect of 25 Kampo medicines constituent plant extracts on UV-induced cytotoxocity. Near confluent HSC-2 cells were replaced with PBS(−) containing different concentrations of plant extracts. The cells were then exposed to UV irradiation, and the viable cell number was determined as described the Materials and Methods. Each value represents the mean±SD of three independent experiments.
- Figure 3.
Inhibition of caspase-3/-7 activation by Glycyrrhiza. HSC-2 cells were exposed to UV irradiation (6 J/m2/min, 1 min) or not in PBS containing 0 (control) or 4 mg/ml of Glycyrrhiza. Cells were incubated for a further 6 hours in fresh culture medium without Glycyrrhiza, and caspase-3/-7 activity of the cell lysates was determined by the production of cleaved product of PARP, using western blot analysis.
