Cell viability upon progesterone treatment. RINm5F cells were analyzed by flow cytometry after incubation with 0.1, 1.0, or 100 μM progesterone or absolute ethanol (control) by 24 h, and 10,000 events were analyzed per sample. Data are presented as means ± SEM of three experiments in duplicates. indicates difference in comparison to control. PG: progesterone; MDA-MB-231: negative control; MCF7: positive control for progesterone receptors expression.
