FIGURE 4.
Inhibitory effect of PS-Zein-CUR on CRC (HCT116, HCT8, and HT29) cell growth. Cells were treated with the indicated doses of CUR, PS-Zein, and PS-Zein-CUR for 48 h, respectively. (A–C) Cell viability measured by using a CCK-8 cell counting kit. (D) Left: images of colony formation assay; Right: quantitative analysis of colony formation expressed as percentage relative to vehicle control. Values are mean ± SD, n = 3. Bars marked with different letters indicate significant difference at P < 0.05.
