Figure 1. The influence of high glucose on cell proliferation.

Figure 1

Cells were exposed to medium with glucose concentrations varying from 5.5 to 50 mM for 12, 24, or 48 h. MTT assay was analyzed for proliferation rates (5.5 mM as a control). (A, B) shows the proliferation rates corresponding to different glucose concentrations in BxPC-3 and Panc-1 cells. (C, D) shows the proliferation rates corresponding to different glucose concentrations in BxPC-3 and Panc-1 cells treated with EGF-neutralizing antibody (* p<0.05 compared with group in 5.5 mM glucose; # p<0.05 compared with group in 25 mM glucose; nā€Š=ā€Š8 per group). (E, F) shows the comparison of proliferation rates before and after treating with EGF-neutralizing antibody with the different glucose concentrations in BxPC-3 and Panc-1 cells at the time point of 24 h (* p<0.05 compared with group of without EGF neutralizing antibody).
