Fig 1. Capsaicin inhibits cell proliferation in human cholangiocarcinoma cell lines.
The cell proliferation of (A) SZ1 and (C) TFK-1 cells was measured by cell proliferation assay. Capsaicin (150 μM, 200 μM) inhibited cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Light microscopic pictures (10× magnification) were taken at 96 h to show the effect of capsaicin on cell proliferation of (B) SZ1 and (D) TFK-1. Note that these results reveal the anti-proliferative effects of capsaicin on human cholangiocarcinoma cells. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of triplicates.
