Article Title: Hinokitiol Exhibits Antitumor Properties through Induction of ROS-Mediated Apoptosis and p53-Driven Cell-Cycle Arrest in Endometrial Cancer Cell Lines (Ishikawa, HEC-1A, KLE)

Figure Lengend Snippet: Hinokitiol’s effect on cell-apoptosis-related protein expression in endometrial cancer cells. Ishikawa ( A , J ), HEC-1A ( B , K ), and KLE ( C , L ) cells were treated with hinokitiol (0, 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 µM) for 48 h, and the protein expression of PARP ( D – F ), Bax, Bcl-2 ( G – I ), and caspase-3 ( M – O ) was assayed with a Western blotting analysis. The differences in the target proteins were analyzed with a Sigma Plot, and the data are expressed as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments; * p < 0.05 compared to the control group.
Article Snippet: The KLE human endometrial cancer cell line was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; Manassas, VA, USA), and it was cultured in DMEM/Ham’s F-12 (Caisson Labs, Smithfield, UT, USA).
