Figure 7. Chemoresistance in rs-monolayer population.
(a) Immunofluorescent images showing a marked increase in the expression of ABCG2, a chemoresistant phenotype, in rs-monolayer cells compared to the parental population in multiple cell lines. (b) Difference in the chemosensitivity of parental and rs-monolayer population of Huh7 cells to the antiglycolytic agent 3-BrPA. An increase in IC50 of rs-monolayer cells compared to the parental population indicate the requirement of higher concentration of 3-BrPA to achieve similar toxicity. Scale bar represents 20 µm.
