EA1.3A inhibits proliferation of cancer cell lines. (a) Dose effect of EA1.3A treatment (72 hours) on the proliferation of two breast cancer cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-453), one colon cancer cell line (HCT116), one prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP), and one normal human lung fibroblast cell line (CCD-19Lu). The cell number at each EA1.3A concentration is represented as a percentage of control. Average values are from three independent experiments performed in duplicate (). (b) Time course of EA1.3A treatment (50 μg/mL) on the proliferation of breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-453. The cell number at each time point is represented as a percentage of control. Average values are from three independent experiments performed in duplicate (). Data are shown as mean ± SD.
