Effect of CHP on the proliferation of gastric cancer BGC-823 cells. (a) Morphologic characterization of BGC-823 cells treated with different concentrations of CHP (0, 20, 30, and 40 μg/mL; A–D, respectively). (b) The viability of BGC-823 cells treated with 0 (control), 20, 30, and 40 μg/mL CHP. The viability of cells was determined by the MTT assay. The values are presented as mean ± SD of five independent experiments. Different upper case letters indicate significant difference between the groups (Fisher’s LSD, P < 0.01).
