    ATCC human colon cancer caco 2 cell line
    The cytotoxic effect of Myr-B peptide against human colon <t>cancer</t> <t>Caco-2</t> cells. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay for the Caco-2 cell line after 3 h and 24 h of incubation with N-myristoylated Myr-B peptide ( a ) and corresponding non-myristoylated Pep-B peptide ( b ). Data are expressed as a percentage of viable cells in the presence of different peptide concentrations (2.5–50 µM) compared to untreated Caco-2 cells (negative control). Positive control represents cells treated with 2% NaN 3 . Untreated cells serve as negative control. All experiments were performed using two independent replicates, each with at least three repeats. Statistical significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post hoc test (GraphPad Prism 11.0). Difference from the negative control was considered statistically significant as follows: ** adjusted p -value < 0.01; **** p -value < 0.0001.

    In vitro experiments demonstrated that gamabufotalin (GA) has a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. A, the chemical formula of GA; B, SW480, HCT-116, HT-29, NCM460, and <t>293T</t> cells were treated with 0-20000 nM GA for 48 hours, and viability was initially determined using the CCK-8 kit. Each concentration point was repeated six times (n = 6). C, CRC SW480, HCT-116, and HT-29 cells were co-incubated with GA at concentrations ranging from 0 to 200 nM for 48 hours, and the relative cell viability of each experimental group was evaluated using the CCK-8 kit. D, the cell viability of SW480, HCT-116, HT-29, NCM460, and 293T cells was measured using the CCK-8 kit at a GA concentration of 50 nM. E, the cell viability of CRC SW480 and HCT-116 cells was measured under a serum concentration of 1% in the culture condition. F, SW480 cells were treated with GA for 48 hours, and the morphological changes in SW480 cells caused by GA were photographed using an inverted microscope. G, SW480 cells were treated with different concentrations of GA for 24 hours, and the width of the scratch was measured, and the cell scratch closure rate was calculated. Post hoc analysis using LSD was performed after one-way ANOVA to evaluate significance, ** P < 0.01.
