on the cellular
activities of HCT116 and HepG2 cells, cell-cycle analysis was performed
using Cycletest PLUS DNA reagent kit (BD Cat no: 340242). The amount
of cell apoptosis was determined by Annexin V/propidium iodide double-staining
kit (BD Biosciences, Cat no: 556570). For the analysis, 1 × 105 treated cells were trypsinized and washed with 1× PBS
and the suspended pellet was analyzed using a flow cytometer (CyFlow
Cube 6, SysmexPartec GmbH, Germany). Both analyses were performed
after 72 h culture duration.
