Effects of beraprost sodium or forskolin on apoptotic cell death in retinal pericytes. Pericytes were treated with 100 µg/ml of AGE-BSA or non-glycated BSA in the presence or absence of 10 nM beraprost sodium or 1 mM forskolin for 5 days. Then cells were lysed and the supernatant analyzed in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for DNA fragments. The percentage of absorbance at 405 nm is indicated on the ordinate and related to the value of the control with non-glycated BSA alone. *, P < 0.01 compared to the value of the control of with AGE-BSA alone.
