DEX inhibits PTX-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer HO8910 cells. HO8910 cells were either left untreated (Con) or treated with PTX (50 nM) in the absence or presence of DEX pre-treatment (0.1 μM). Twenty-four hours following the addition of PTX, apoptosis rate was measured by annexin V-FITC/PI and then analyzed by FCM. *: p < 0.01 vs. control; *#: p < 0.01 vs. PTX treated cells. Con: control; PTX: paclitaxel; DEX: dexamethasone.
