After terminating the incubation, cells were collected by scraping and washed three times with PBS and then lysed in specific buffer. Iron levels were analyzed with a Cobas Integra 800 system as described under "Material and Method". Values indicated are the mean ± S.D. of three separate experiments
Membrane expression of TfR (CD71) by neuroblastoma cell lines and its modulation by sodium ascorbate

For each bar group, the concentration was: 0 (control), 0.5 mM, 1 mM, 2 mM and 3 mM. Cells were than washed and incubated with a FITC-coniugated mouse monoclonal antibody specific to human CD71 and analyzed by flow cytometry. The data are the mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments, each in triplicate
Representative example of cytofluorimetric analysis showing the effect of vitamin C alone or in combination with FAC, on the mitochondrial membrane potential of SH-SY5Y (panel A) and HTLA-230 (panel B) stained with JC-1 probe

Numbers represent the percentage of non-apoptotic red fluorescent cells (R1, R3) and that of apoptotic green fluorescent cells (R2, R4). Sodium ascorbate induces a marked increase in apoptosis which is fully prevented by treatment with FAC. SH-SY5Y and HTLA-230 were incubate in complete medium in the absence (A1, B1) or in presence of 1 mM sodium ascorbate (A2, B2) and 2 mM sodium ascorbate (A4, B4) for 16 hours. Cells were pretreated (A3, A5, B3, B5) with 70 μg/ml of FAC for 3 hours. Comparable results were obtained in three independent experiments

After 16 hours, cells detached in the medium were collected by centrifugation, resuspended and incubated with AnnexinV-FITC. Apoptosis was quantified as increased green fluorescence by flow cytometry. The data are the mean ± S.D. from four independent experiments. Statistical analysis was done by Student's test (*, p < 0.005)
