Figure 1

Effects of DHTS on the viability and cell morphology of human prostate carcinoma cells. (a) DU145 cells were treated with various concentrations of DHTS for 8, 12, or 24 h, and cell viability was determined by an MTT assay. Values were obtained in three independent experiments performed in triplicate and are represented as the mean ± S.E. (b) DU145 cells were treated with various concentrations of DHTS for 24 h and photographed. (c) DU145 cells were treated with 1.5 μg/mL of DHTS for various time points and photographed.
