Combinatorial Antitumor Effect of Rapamycin and β-Elemene in Follicular Thyroid Cancer Cells

Figure 1

Antitumor activity of rapamycin or/and β-elemene in vitro. (a) Antiproliferation activity of rapamycin in FTC-133 cells. (b) Antiproliferation activity of rapamycin in FTC-133 cells. (c) Combinatorial antitumor effect of rapamycin and β-elemene on FTC-133 cells proliferation. Cells were treated with various concentrations of rapamycin or/and β-elemene for 72 h. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Columns, mean inhibition rate (%) of three independent experiments; bars, SD. versus rapamycin group and versus β-elemene group.
