Figure 3. Analysis of cell viability of CYP2E1 transfected HepG2 cells and vector cells after treatment with nitriles.
Cells were treated with allyl-CN (A), 3-but-CN (B), benzyl-CN (C) and 4-MTB-CN (D) for 72 hours and viability was analyzed using WST-1 assay. Bars are mean + SEM, n = 3. *P ≤ 0.05, asterisks indicate a significant difference between the sample and the solvent control: medium. CYP2E1: HepG2-CYP2E1, vector: HepG2-vector.
