DNA fragmentation (% specific 125I-DNA release) and membrane lysis (% specific 51Cr release) of P-gp−ve CCRF, 2H6 and P-gp+ve A7+, IC10, cells treated for 48 hours in 96-well plates (2 × 104cells/well) with VIN (0.1 μg/mL), DEX (20 μg/mL), and VP-16 (0.1 μg/mL). In some wells, cells were preincubated for 30 minutes with 20 μmol/L ZVAD-fmk or control ZFA-fmk inhibitor. Data are calculated as the mean ± SE of triplicate samples and are representative of at least two different experiments. Similar results were observed with at least two other concentrations of each drug (data not shown).
