Apoptosis Induction in Primary Human Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines and Retarded Tumor Growth in SCID Mice by Sulforaphane

Figure 7

SFN inhibits in vivo tumor growth. (a) Effects of SFN on tumor growth of SCID mice subcutaneously inoculated with primary human CRC cell lines. The results showed that SFN 400 μM inhibited tumor growth significantly in both cancer xenografts. (b) Inhibition of tumor growth was compared among tested groups. The inhibitory ratio was normalized to the negative control (PBS group) (values represent percent of control, n = 3 versus PBS group).
