Compound | IC50 |
p value of IC50 from HEK-ABCG2 cells relative to IC50 from control cellsa | Relative resistanceb | Reversal of resistancec | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
HEK-293 control | HEK- ABCG2 | ||||
CCCP alone | 2.3 ± 0.4 μm | 2.4 ± 0.3 μm | 0.32 | 1.0 ± 0.2-fold | |
CCCP + 2 μm curcumin | 1.8 ± 0.2 μm | 1.7 ± 0.2 μm | 0.16 | 0.9 ± 0.2-fold | 1.1 ± 0.3-fold |
2-DG alone | 4.0 ± 0.6 mm | 4.2 ± 0.9 mm | 0.27 | 1.0 ± 0.3-fold | |
2-DG + 2 μm curcumin | 2.1 ± 0.3 mm | 2.0 ± 0.4 mm | 0.18 | 1.0 ± 0.2-fold | 1.0 ± 0.4-fold |
a To determine p values, we used a two-tailed Student's t test based on log(IC50) values. We considered p values ≤ 0.05 as statistically significant.
b Expressed as the ratio of the IC50 value of ABCG2-expressing cells to that of the control cells.
c Expressed as the ratio of the relative resistance value of ABCG2-expressing cells in the absence of the second compound to the relative resistance in its presence.
