Cells were treated for 72 h with doxorubicin (100 ng/ml) or vehicle (0.01% DMSO) and assayed for cytosolic DNA with diphenylamine to measure apoptosis.

DNA fragmentation was analyzed by electrophoresis and quantified by the diphenylamine method.
Bcl-2, Bcl-X (L), PKC-alpha, PKC-beta, and PKC-delta were detected by Western blotting.

Expression of the bcl-2 proto-oncogene transcript and protein was higher in the HL-60-MZF-1 cells compared to wild-type HL-60s and expression persisted for 5 days following RA in the HL-60-MZF-1 cells compared to only 3 days in the parental HL-60 cells suggesting that bcl-2 may contribute to the inhibition of apoptosis.
Apoptosis was delayed in the MZF-1 transduced cells as measured by internucleosomal DNA fragmentation patterns, the terminal transferase end labeling reaction (TUNEL), and quantitation of fragmented DNA by the diphenylamine reaction.

Neoplasia. 2009 Aug;11(8):720-31.


Cell cycle (cyclin D1, c-Myc, and p27 (KIP1)) and apoptosis (Bcl-2 and survivin) regulators were modulated by PD0325901 at the protein level.

To check whether the oxidative stress induction was associated to DNA lesions, we looked for DNA fragmentation by means of the Comet and the diphenylamine assays.
To specify cell death pathway, we investigated caspase-3 activation, confirmed by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage and by Bcl-2 depletion.

We hypothesize that (1) chemotherapeutic agents induce mitochondrial changes and apoptosis through mechanisms associated with reactive oxidant species production; (2) the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 prevents drug-induced mitochondrial changes, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and apoptosis; and (3) the assay of drug-induced mitochondrial changes can reflect drug-specific chemoresistance in a given cancer cell line.
Apoptosis was determined by electron microscopy, TUNEL (TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling) staining, and diphenylamine assay of DNA fragmentation.
