Ethanol Extract of Dianthus chinensis L. Induces Apoptosis in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma HepG2 Cells In Vitro

Figure 1

Exposure to EDCL induces growth inhibition in HepG2 cells. (a) Concentration response. Cells were incubated in the presence or absence of several concentrations of EDCL for 24 and 48 h. (b) Time course. Cells were exposed to 180 μg/mL EDCL over time (6–48 h). Cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay. The data are expressed as the means ± SD of triplicate samples. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, and ***𝑃<0.001 versus untreated EDCL.
