Huaier Aqueous Extract Induces Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells Arrest in S Phase via JNK Signaling Pathway

Figure 3

Effect of Huaier extract on the morphological changes of HepG2 cells. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to observe the apoptotic cells under a BX-60 fluorescence microscope (200x) after cells were treated with different doses of Huaier extract (0, 2, 4, 8, and 16 mg/mL) for 48 h. The arrow shows apoptotic cells. The values are expressed as the mean ratios ± SD from three independent experiments. , compared with that of the untreated control (0 mg/mL).
