Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) The effect of different P. paradoxus extract treatments on the micronuclei frequency (%) in CHO-K1 cells. Cells were treated for 24 h with 3 different concentrations of P. paradoxus extract, 12.5, 25 and 50 µg/mL or MMC at 0.025 µg/mL, then followed by 24 h incubation with 3 µg/mL of cytochalasin B. Graphs represent data collected from 3 independent experiments. One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparisons test using GraphPad Prism 7 software, was applied to calculate statistical significance in comparison with the NC control. (* p = 0.0435, ** p = 0.0019, *** p = 0.0007, **** p < 0.0001). ( B ) The micronuclei formation in binucleated CHO-K1 cells, observed with a 40× objective. CHO-K1 cells’ DNA was stained with Hoechst dye. Green arrows indicate the micronuclei, and the white line, labelled 50 μm, represents the scale bar in the image.
