Figure Lengend Snippet: XN and HOP EX affect HNSCC cell viability: ( A ) Xanthohumol chemical structure. ( B ) Viability assay measured by MTT (concentration range 0–25 µM XN, 0–1% HOP EX) at 48 h post-treatment. ( C ) Apoptosis analysis by Annexin V/PI assay 48 h post-treatment with IC50 (original plot Fig. C) ( D ) Synergyfinder + analysis shows significant synergism in combinations of XN + Cisplatin in UMSCC-103 and CAL-33. ( E ) Western blot results and quantification of BAX/BCL2 ratio in XN, Cisplatin, and combination treatment compared to the control. ( F ) Synergyfinder + analysis shows significant synergism in combinations of XN + Cisplatin in UMSCC-103 cis-R. ( G ) XN sensitivity (MTT assay) of UMSCC-103 cis-R cells.
Article Snippet: Xanthohumol pure extract (XN) and Xanthohumol Hop extract 2% purity (HOP-EX) were obtained from Greensky.
