Potential combined effects of doxorubicin and VaM in breast cancer cells. Doxo was treated with or without VaM (250 μg/mL) for 24 h in MCF-7 cells. (A) Cell viability was determined using MTT assay. (B) The protein expression of p-STAT3 (Y705), STAT3, p-Src, Src, cleaved-PARP, and cleaved-caspase 3 was confirmed by immunoblotting. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 compared to the no treatment concentration group. ##
p < 0.01, ###
p < 0.001, and ####
p < 0.0001 compared to only Doxo (1 μM) group. The results are presented in the bar chart as the mean ± SD of the three independent experiments. Yellow circles represent the results of three independent experiments.
