Figure 6. Effects of LJK-11 on mitotic spindle formation.

A549 cells were incubated on glass coverslips with different reagents for 16 hours, and then fixed and stained with α-tubulin antibody to visualize microtubules (green) and with DAPI to visualize chromosomes (blue). The cells were visualized by indirect immunofluorescent microscopy. A: control cells treated with equal volume of DMSO (0.1%). B: cells treated with 100 µM LJK-11. C: cells treated with 5 nM nocodazole. D: cells treated with 100 nM colchicine. E: cells treated with 50 nM Taxol.
