Transmission electron microscope was used to observe cell morphologies. FCM assay was performed to measure the change of cell cycle. RT-PCR method was used to detect the expressions of bcl-2 and bax mRNA. Westernblot method was used to detect the expressions of bcl-2 and bax protein. Tetraarsenic tetra- sulfide showed an inhibiting effect on the proliferation of cells ls174t in vitro(P〈0.01). It induces the apoptosis of cells ls174t, which is related to the decrease in the expression of bcl-2 and the increase in the expression of bax.展开更多
