Figure 2. Chlorotoxin (CTX) and its derivatives CA4 and CTX-23 inhibit glioma cell proliferation.

Figure 2

Chlorotoxin (CTX) and its derivatives CA4 and CTX-23 were tested on rodent and human glioma cells and on primary human glioma cells clone TN22. (A) Cell viability assay of chlorotoxin and its analogues treated rodent gliomas (F98) for 48 hours. BSA served as a control for potential osmotic effects. (B) Cell viability assay of CTX and its analogues applied to human gliomas (U251) for 48 hours. BSA served as a control for potential osmotic effects. After the indicated time point, cell viability was determined. (C) CTX and CA4 treatment on primary human glioma cells for 48 hours. Quantification is given from three independent experiments. Means are given as ± SD, n = 8 per group, *P < 0.05 (Student’s unpaired t-test).
