Senescence, apoptosis and transformation. A) Percentage of senescent cells in XF,SFM cultures, compared against DMEM KO + 10% FBS cultures at P5 followed by representative 10 X images of fields showing blue colored senescent cells; B) Percentage of Annexin positive (apoptotic) cells in XF,SFM cultures compared to DMEM KO + 10% FBS cultures at P5 followed by representative images of fields showing green colored apoptotic cells; C) Representative pictures of cells cultured in soft agar medium, showing no colonies in XF,SFM and DMEM KO + 10% FBS cultures, compared to colonies observed in MCF-7 cultures; D) Comparative gene expression analysis between cells cultured in XF,SF medium and DMEM KO + 10% FBS at P6. FBS, fetal bovine serum; P, passage.
