Assessment of the effects of CKI and fractions on cell viability and incidence of apoptosis. Viability was measured by Alamar Blue assay in eight cell lines treated with (A) CKI, (B) MN or (C) MJ fractions (at doses present in 2 mg/ml CKI). Cell viability responses standardized as a percentage to mean values for vehicle control were not significantly different (ns) in any condition, based on repeated experiments with 8 replicates total. Apoptosis was compared in three cell lines with and without CKI treatment, for (D) MDA-MB-231, (E) HEK-293, and (F) HFF cells, analyzed by flow cytometry (see Methods for details). Pseudo-color plots illustrate the percentages of cells in the late (quadrant Q2) and early (Q3) stages of apoptosis. (G) Histogram summarizing compiled data (mean ± SD) depicting percentage apoptosis in three cell lines with and without CKI treatment. ****p < 0.0001; ns, not significant.
