Time and dose dependent effects of licofelone on survival rate of hepatoma cells after 24 and 48 h applications. C, Control (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
The survival rates in percentage of hepatoma cells in culture after treatment with DMSO and different doses of 5-FU for 24 and 48 h.
Morphological appearance of H4IIE cells after treatment with three licofelone doses for 24 h (a, control; b, 150 µM; c, 200 µM; d, 250 µM; scale bar 50 µm; → shows rounded cells).
Typical quadrant analysis of Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry of hepatoma cells that were treated for 24 h with three higher doses of licofelone.
