Figure 3From: Induction of apoptosis through oxidative stress-related pathways in MCF-7, human breast cancer cells, by ethyl acetate extract of Dillenia suffruticosa Cell cycle analysis of MCF-7 breast cancer cells treated with EADs at 24 and 48 hours. Effects of EADs on the cell cycle distribution in MCF-7 cells were analysed using flowcytometry analysis. Bar charts representing the percentage of cell populations in MCF-7 cells treated with EADS for (a) 24 hours and (b) 48 hours. DNA histogram (Figure 3c) displayed cell cycle phase distribution of control and EADs-treated cells at 24 and 48 hours. The data are presented as mean ± standard deviation of three replicates in three independent tests. An asterisk * indicates statistically significant different from untreated control (P < 0.05).Back to article page
