Cucurbitacin E Induces G2/M Phase Arrest through STAT3/p53/p21 Signaling and Provokes Apoptosis via Fas/CD95 and Mitochondria-Dependent Pathways in Human Bladder Cancer T24 Cells

Figure 2

The effects of cucurbitacin E on the G2/M phase arrest in T24 cells. Cells at a density of cells per well were placed in 12-well plates and then were treated with 1000 nM cucurbitacin E for different time periods (12, 24, or 48 h). Cells were harvested for evaluating the cell cycle distribution as described in the Materials and Methods.
