Effect of EPTA-Gd and TPTA-Gd on the proliferation rates of human breast cancer cells. (A) Dose-dependent effect of EPTA-Gd on the proliferation rate of ER-positive T47D human breast cancer cells. (B) Dose-dependent effect of TPTA-Gd and of TPTA-Gd + E2 on the proliferation rate of ER-positive MCF7 human breast cancer cells. (C) Dose-dependent effect of EPTA-Gd on the proliferation rate of ER-negative WT MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. Cell proliferation was measured by the cell viability MTT assay, and each data point represents mean ± SD of six-replicate wells. Control: cells cultivated in E2-free medium.
