PHI and LY294002 inhibit the viability of HL-60 cells. (A) Cell viability was inhibited at various concentrations of PHI in a dose- and time-dependent manner vs. untreated control. (B) Cell viability was inhibited at various concentrations of LY294002 in a dose- and time-dependent manner vs. untreated control. (C) PHI and LY294002 in combination exhibited a synergistic effect on HL-60 cell viability vs. PHI or LY294002 alone. (D) Dose-response curves of the single or combined drug treatments. (E) Fa-CI curve of PHI and LY294002 in combination revealing a synergistic effect with 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 µmol/l (CI<1). The broken line at CI=1 represents the additive effect. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001; Fa, affected fraction; CI, combination index.
