Figure 1.

The effect of the treatment for 24 h and 48 h with the increasing concentration of cisplatin (1–100 µM) (A) and dexamethasone (1–200 nM) (B) on BCPs was evaluated by MTT assay (Cell viability). The lethal concentration (LC) of cisplatin was 50 μM and the LC of Dex was 300 nM. The values are expressed as the mean ± SD of results from three independent experiments, with four parallel samples for each group in each experiment. * p < 0.05 vs. cells without treatment at the same incubation time. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was used for pairwise comparisons.
