Anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of emetine in GC cells. A Edu incorporation assay in MGC803 and HGC-27 cells after emetine treatment for 18 h (100 ×). The number of proliferative GC cells (Edu-labeled brown cells) in different treatment groups was counted for statistics, and data were shown as mean ± SD (n = 3). B Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis assay in MGC803 and HGC-27 cells treated with emetine for 24 h. Apoptotic rates (the percentage of Annexin V-positive cells) in different treatment groups were quantified for statistics, and data were shown as mean ± SD (n = 3). **p < 0.01 vs vehicle, ***p < 0.001 vs vehicle
