Effects of AC-MFB on human esophageal cancer cells.

Notes: Pretreatment with AC-MFB inhibited cellular viability of CE81T/VGH SCC cells (A), BE3 ADC cells (B), and enhanced radiation effects on the CE81T/VGH SCC cells (C) and BE3 ADC cells (D). Both cells were treated with 0.1–5.0 mg/mL of AC-MFB for 24, 48, and 72 h, then determined using an MTT assay for cell viability assay. In radiation sensitivity study, cells were treated with 0.5 mg/mL AC-MFB for 24 h before irradiation. Radiation doses of 0.5, 1, 2, 4, or 6 Gy were given in a single fraction. Data are expressed as mean ± SD for three independent experiments.

Abbreviations: AC-MFB, Antrodia cinnamomea mycelial fermentation broth; ADC, adenocarcinoma; Gy, gray; MTT, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazo; h, hours; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma; SD, standard deviation.
