Effect of aspirin on the growth inhibition of SSAT⁻ and SSAT⁺ cells

Cells	Growth inhibition (%)
Time of treatment (h)	24	48	72	96
SSAT−	25	58	80	81
SSAT+	2	28	73	83

Cells were seeded at a density of 2.4 × 10⁴/cm² in a 60 mm cell culture dish in duplicate. Cells were treated with aspirin after 48 h incubation and then harvested at 24 h intervals and viable cell numbers counted using Trypan blue exclusion assay. Growth inhibition (%) was calculated as a percentage of the number of cells treated with aspirin against the number of cells of control. The growth inhibition of control cells was known as 0 % (n = 3–8, with two replicates per experiment)
