NCI-H1975 and PC9/GR cells were digested, washed with cold PBS, and resuspended in binding buffer, according to the instructions of the apoptosis kit. PE Annexin V and 7-amino-actinomycin (7-AAD; BD Pharmingen, San Diego, CA, USA) were added to the fixed cells for 15 min in the dark at room temperature. Then, Annexin V binding buffer was added to the mixture before the fluorescence was measured with an LSR II flow cytometer (BD, USA). Cell apoptosis was analyzed using FlowJo software (FlowJo, LLC, Bethesda, USA). Three separate experiments were performed.
