Effect of farnesol on VEC morphology. 1 A ~ 1D shows the VK2 cells treated with farnesol for 24 h through inverted phase contrast microscope (200 × magnification). The apoptotic cells treated with 100 µM is indicated by the white arrow in Fig. 1D, which exhibited a degraded diopter, large cytoplasms, and increased number of vacuoles. The scale bar represents 100 μm. Panel 1E shows the mean cell viability of the VK2 cells treated with farnesol. ***, significant difference for the epithelial cell viability (%) compared to the control (untreated) cells (P < 0.001)
