Article Snippet: Cells were seeded in 6‒well plates at a density of 5 × 105 cells per well and treated with ATST at specified concentrations for 48 h. Cells were then collected and incubated with JC‒1 working solution (Yesen, 717164ES03, Shanghai) at 37 °C for 20 min. After washing twice with serum‒containing medium, samples were analysed by flow cytometry.
