Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of anlotinib on the cell cycle. (A, B) The effect of different anlotinib concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20 µM, in (a–d) respectively) on HCT-8/5-FU cells. (C, D) HCT-15/5-FU cells assayed as in (A, B) , (e–h) . Anlotinib reduced the number of cells in the S phase while increasing those in the G0/G1 phase (p<0.05). Concentrations of 20 µM and 10 µM had the greatest effect in HCT-15/5-FU and HCT-8/5-FU cells, respectively. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three experiments. *p<0.05 represents the comparison between the experimental and control groups. Anlotinib suppressed the viability of HCT-8/FU cells even at 5 µM, while no effect was observed in HCT-15/FU cells. Therefore, 5 µM was not included as a treatment for HCT-15/FU cells. Meanwhile, 80 µM had the strongest cytotoxic effect. To avoid excess cell death, this dose was not selected.
