JS-K reduces proliferation of U87 and primary glioblastoma cells in a dose-dependent fashion in vitro. A. Cell proliferation was assessed by 5’-bromodeoxyuridine incorporation 48 h after treatment of glioma cells with JS-K (1-10 μM) for 24 h. Percentage of proliferating cells out of 100% vital cells was assessed by fluorescence microscopy. Data are expressed as means ± SEM from three independent experiments and analyzed by t-test. Asterisks (*, p< .05; **, p< .01; ***, p< .001) indicate a significant difference between JS-K and the controls. B. Representative images of U87 cells treated with increasing concentrations of JS-K (1-10 μM) for 24 h. Photomicrographs taken on a Zeiss Axio Observer Microscope, scale bar 25 μm.
