Figure Lengend Snippet: IQ inhibits ESCC viability and colony formation. ( A ) Viability of KYSE-70, KYSE-450, and KYSE-510 cells treated with varying concentrations of IQ (0, 200, 400, and 800 µM) and CDDP (25 µM) for 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. Cell viability was measured using the CCK-8 assay. ( B ) Morphology of KYSE-70, KYSE-450, and KYSE-510 cells treated with CDDP (25 µM) and IQ at 0, 400, and 800 µM for 48 h, observed under light microscopy (Scale bar = 316.5 µM). ( C ) Colony formation of KYSE-70, KYSE-450, and KYSE-510 cells treated with 0, 400, and 800 µM IQ for 14 days. The colonies were stained with crystal violet for quantification. ( D ) Quantified colonies of KYSE-70, KYSE-450, and KYSE-510 cells. The colony counts were normalized to the untreated control. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001 compared to the control group.
Article Snippet: The ESCC cell lines KYSE-510, KYSE-450, and KYSE-70 were obtained from the China-US (Henan) Hormel Cancer Institute (Zhengzhou, China).
