G1 phase blocking and cell cycle progression in SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells. (a) Cell cycle progression in SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells was detected by flow cytometry. G1 phase blocking was observed in both cell lines when treated with SS or PADM, and the combined effect of SS and PADM was greater than that of the individual components. (b) Proteins associated with cell cycle (CDK4, Ki67, cyclin E, and cyclin D1) were examined by western blot. Decreased expression of these proteins was observed in both cell lines when treated with SS or PADM, and the combined effect of SS and PADM was greater than that of the individual components. All data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). .
