Measurement of caspase-3/7 activity in U937 and SK-HEP-1 cells by BNCE and light treatment. Cells were treated with BNCE (10, 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml) for 4 h. Cells were irradiated with light for 10 min or kept in the dark, followed by incubation for 6 h. Caspase activity was determined by Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay. Results are expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Statistical analysis was analyzed using one-way ANOVA p < 0.001, dark conditions not significant. Different letters denote significant differences between groups (p < 0.001). (A) U937 cells, (B) SK-HEP-1 cells
