Toona Sinensis and Moschus Decoction Induced Cell Cycle Arrest in Human Cervical Carcinoma HeLa Cells
Figure 1
The effects of the three decoctions, including Toona sinensis and Moschus mixture, single Toona sinensis and Moschus, on cell viability in HeLa, SMMC-7721, NIH3T3, and QSG-7701 cells. (a) Cells were incubated without or with 25 and 50 μg/mL of the mixture decoction and the effects on growth inhibition were in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. (b) Cells were incubated without or with 25 and 50 μg/mL of the single Toona sinensis decoction. The percentage of viable cells was no less than 70% among all of the treated cells. (c) According to the weight ratio of the Toona sinensis and Moschus mixture decoction, the single Moschus concentration was set as 0.5 and 1 μg/mL. In contrast to NIH3T3 and QSG-7701 cells, HeLa and SMMC-7721 cells showed no statistical decrease in the percentage of cell viability. The data are presented as the mean ± S.D. (for each group, ).
