Figure 1

Effect of Aspongopus chinensis methanol extract (AME) on the proliferation of breast cancer MDA-MB-453 cells. (a) Morphologic characterization of MDA-MB-453 cells treated with different concentrations of AME (0, 0.5, 1, or 1.5 mg/mL (A-D), respectively; 200×). (b) Viability of MDA-MB-453 cells treated with 0 (control), 0.5, 1, or 1.5 mg/mL AME. Values are presented as the mean ± SD of five independent experiments. Different upper case letters indicate significant difference between groups (Fisher’s LSD, P<0.01).
