Expression of apoptosis-related genes in K562-S and K562-R cells treated with MjTX-I. Expression of BAD, BAX, BCL-2, BCL-XL, and c-FLIP genes was analyzed by real-time PCR after a 24-h treatment with MjTX-I. (a) K562-S cells. (b) K562-R cells. (c) Gene expression ratio between K562-R and K562-S cells (fold change). Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. CTRL: untreated cells (control). *p < 0.05 vs. CTRL (One-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey’s post-hoc test)
