DP induces G2 phase cell cycle arrest in ESCC cells. (A and B) Flow cytometric analysis using PI staining showed that the cell cycle was blocked in the G2/M phase after treatment with DP (0, 40 and 80 µM) for 24 h in ECA109 and EC9706 cells. (C-F) A panel of G2/M phase-related protein was detected by western blot analysis. DP (0, 40, 60 and 80 µM) treatment for 24 h upregulated p21 and p27 expression and downregulated cyclin B1 and Cdc2 expression in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). *P<0.05 compared with the control group. DP, dracorhodin perchlorate; ESCC, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; PI, propidium iodide.
