Pao extract inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell cycle arrest in human prostate RWPE-1 cells. (a) RWPE-1 cells were treated with Pao extract with the indicated concentrations for 48 h and the cytotoxicity was evaluated by the MTT assay. (b) RWPE-1 cells were treated with 500 μg/ml Pao extract for 0, 2, 4, and 6 days and evaluated by the MTT assay. (c) Flow cytometry analysis of RWPE-1 cells treated with vehicle and Pao extract with the indicated concentrations. (d) Quantification of percentage of each cell cycle in vehicle, 250 and 500 μg/ml of Pao extract. (e) Western blotting assay of RWPE-1 cells treated with Pao extract. Actin was used as a loading control. (f) The semi-quantitative analysis of Western blotting data in (e) by densitometry using Image J software. The values were presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
