Figure Lengend Snippet: Celastrol suppresses cell proliferation in UCEC. Four UCEC cell lines Ishikawa, HEC-1-B, KLE and HEC-1-A were applied and treated with different concentrations of Celastrol (0, 0.3, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 or 20 µM) for 24 h. ( A ) The chemical structure of Celastrol. ( B ) CCK8 assay tested the cell viability, and cell inhibition rate (CI) was calculated. ( C ) Ishikawa and HEC-1-A cells were treated with 2.5, 5 or 10 µM of Celastrol (L-Celastrol, M-Celastrol or H-Celastrol) and cultured for 24 h. The distribution of cell cycle was evaluated by flow cytometry analysis. ( D ) Cell cycle-associated protein expression levels were measured by western blotting assays. All the values are mean ± SD. ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01 vs. the control group
