Cell viabilities with increasing concentrations of cisplatin (CP) and doxorubicin (DOXO) under normoxic and hypoxic condition for 48 hours were determined by MTT assay. IC50 values are presented as the means ?SDs (n=4) and * denotes p<0.05.

In vitro cell uptake data showing the HA coating on HAC-PFP-DC nanoparticles significantly improves drug delivery into prostasphere and mammosphere cells enriched with CSCs. Fluorescence micrographs of mammosphere cells after incubated with the simple mixture of free DOX&CPT, PFP-DC nanoparticles, and HAC-PFPDC nanoparticles for 3 h at 37℃.

Sensitivity of AML cells to conventional induction treatment and small-molecule p53 activators. Cell viability in OCI-AML3 cells treated for 24 hours with cytarabin/idarubicin (CI) and Nultin-3A (Nut; A), CI and Leptomycin-B (LMB; B), or Nut and LMB (D), respectively. CI was tested at 0, 100, 200, and 300 nmol/L CI; Nutlin-3A at 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5; and LMB at 0, 2, 8, 32 ng/mL in dosages 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Cell viability in normal and AML bone marrow cells.

Growth inhibitory effects of Epirubicin human pancreatic cancer cells. MiaPaCa-2 cells were plated in triplicates into 48-well plates at a density of 10,000 cells/ml. After 24 hours, complete culture medium was changed into fresh low-serum-containing medium (0.5% FBS) containing DMSO (control) or indicated doses of Epirubicin (Selleckchem). Cell viability 48 hours after treatment was determined by AlamarBlue assay (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's instructions. Results are expressed as percentages of control, which was arbitrarily assigned 100% viability, and represented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of the tripicate wells. 

A) MV411 or B) Kasumi 1 cells were incubated with YM155 (0.25 x IC50) in the presence or absence of i) 0.5 x IC50 or ii) 1 x IC50 of Daunorubicin or iii) 0.5 x IC50 or iv) 1 x IC50 of Cytarabine for 72h. Following 72h treatment, cells were subject to a resazurin reduction assay. Percentages were normalised to DMSO controls. Column, mean of 3 independent experiments; Bars, SEM. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.005. Students t-test. Similar trends were observed with 0.5 x and 1 x IC50 of YM155 in combination with Daunorubicin or Cytarabine (data not shown).

Growth inhibitory effects of Irinotecan in human pancreatic cancer cells. Panc1 cells were plated in triplicates into 48-well plates at a density of 10,000 cells/ml. After 24 hours, complete culture medium was changed into fresh low-serum-containing medium (1% FBS) containing DMSO (control) or indicated doses of Irinotecan (Selleckchem). Cell viability 72 hours after treatment was determined by AlamarBlue assay (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer's instructions. Results are expressed as percentages of control, which was arbitrarily assigned 100% viability, and represented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of the tripicate wells. 

HCT116 cells were pretreated with tested compounds for 1 hour and then cotreated with 1 μM SN-38 for 2 hours. Cell lysates were then subjected to Western blot analysis. Data shown are representative of three independent experiments. Con, concentration.

Cleavable complex formation with nuclear DNA in P. falciparum treated with topoisomerase poisons. Parasites were metabolically labeled with [3H]hypoxanthine, treated with etoposide (■), gatifloxacin (●), levofloxacin(▲), ciprofloxacin (□), fleroxacin (○), or nalidixic acid (△) at the indicated concentrations for 18-22 h, lysed with SDS and digested with RNases. SDS and protein-bound DNA were precipitated with potassium. The fold increase in nuclear DNA capture as compared to solvent controls (mean of triplicate determinations) was plotted against concentration. Coefficient of variation for each data point was 19%.

Ciprofoxacin (Cipro) reduces cancer cell survival in combination with chemotherapy. A and B, colony formation was conducted with A549 and SW48 cells treated with the clinically relevant chemotherapeutics cisplatin or 5-FU in the presence or absence of 2 μmol/L cipro floxacin. C, cipro fl oxacin at 2 μmol/L decreased proliferation of KG-1 cells and slightly enhanced the effect of etoposide (Etop). *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01 ( t tests).

Cell viability and caspase 3/7 activity in MDA-MB-231 cells co-treated with carbenoxolone, novobiocin, ibrutinib and bisphosphonates. Cell viability (A) and caspase 3/7 activity (B) was determined after treatment with ZA (zoledronic acid), RIS (risedronate), IBN (ibandronate), ALN (alendronate) in combination with carbenoxolone, novobiocin and ibrutinib. All data are expressed as means of three different measure points of three independent experiments ± SEM and were normalized to BP treatment alone. Significances were calculated with the Mann Whitney U test (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.005).
