Butein suppressed HCC cell proliferation and clonogenic survival in vitro.
Notes: (A) SMMC-7721 (left) and HepG2 (right) cells were incubated with butein for different durations and the cell viability was examined with MTS assay. (B) Clonogenic survival assays were performed in SMMC-7721 (upper) and HepG2 (lower) cells as described in the “Materials and methods” section. *p<0.05, ***p<0.001, versus the control.
