Figure Lengend Snippet: Reduced proliferation and viability of different hepatoma and colon carcinoma cell lines treated with gossypol. ( a ) Real-time proliferation curves. After 10 h incubation, cells were treated with different concentrations of gossypol (5 µM, 10 µM, 20 µM, 50 µM) or culture medium (negative control) and monitored for an additional 96 h. As control for complete inhibition of cell proliferation, 0.1% ( v / v ) Triton X-100 (positive control) was used. Cellular impedance was measured over the entire observation time using the xCELLigence TM SP device (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) and calculated by the RTCA Software Pro (2.3.2.). All CI values were normalized at 10 h before treatment started. Normalized CI values are displayed in intervals of 5 h. The mean values ± SD of three independent experiments are depicted. IC 50 values for treatment duration of 72 h and 96 h were calculated with RTCA Software; HepG2, IC 50 (72 h): 6.30 µM (SD = 1.73 µM), IC 50 (96 h): 4.35 µM (SD = 2.10 µM); Hep3B, IC 50 (72 h): 6.87 µM (SD = 1.02 µM), IC 50 (96 h): 5.83 µM (SD = 0.81 µM); HCT-116, IC 50 (72 h): 3.61 µM (SD = 1.54 µM), IC 50 (96 h): 5.36 µM (SD = 2.87 µM), HT-29, IC 50 (72 h): 11.8 µM (SD = 10.01 µM), IC 50 (96 h): 14.0 µM (SD = 12.01 µM). Investigation of cell viability via SRB assay. Cells were treated for 48 h ( b ) and 96 h ( c ) with increasing concentrations of gossypol (5 µM, 10 µM, 20 µM, 50 µM), with culture medium (negative control) and 0.1% ( v / v ) Triton X-100 (positive control). Values represent means ± SD of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate. CI, cell index; SRB, sulforhodamine B.
