RA restricts the clonogenic properties of HCC cells in vitro. Clonogenic/Colony formation assay was performed to study the long-term effects of RA on the survival and proliferation of HCC cells. RA inhibited the colony forming ability of (A,B) HepG2 and (C,D) SMMC-7721 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Data are represented as mean ± SD (n = 3, and **p ≤ 0.01, *p ≤ 0.05 vs. control).
