Figures & data
Abbreviation: FLS: (E)-1-(2′-Hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-methylthio)phenyl)prop-2-ene-1-one.
Notes: (A) Untreated (control) and (B) FLS treated (36 μM at 72 hours). Scanning electron microscopy images of MCF-7 (C) untreated (control) and (D) FLS treated (36 μM at 72 hours). Acridine orange/propidium iodide (AO/PI) double staining of MCF-7 (E) untreated (control) and (F) FLS treated (36 μM at 72 hours) and (G) Bar chart analysis of the percentage of viable, apoptotic and necrotic MCF-7 of untreated (control) and FLS treated (36 μM at 72 hours) via AO/PI qualitative analysis at each time point. The experiments were done in triplicate and all data are expressed as mean ± SE with (*P<0.05). Figures shown were representative of at least three independent replicates with similar parameters.
Abbreviations: FLS: (E)-1-(2′-Hydroxy-4′,6′-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(4-methylthio)phenyl)prop-2-ene-1-one; SE, standard error of the mean.

Notes: (A) Histogram analysis of cell cycle and (B) bar chart showing the percentage of cell in each phase of the cell cycle in MCF-7 for 24, 48, and 72 hours when treated with IC50 dose of FLS (36 μM). (C) Histogram analysis of Annexin V/FITC and (D) bar chart showing the percentage of cell stained with FITC and PI in MCF-7 treated with IC50 dose of FLS (36 μM) for 24, 48, and 72 hours. The experiments were done in triplicate and all data are expressed as mean ± SE with (*P<0.05). Sub-G0/G1 is sub-Gap0/Gap1 phase. IC50 represents the concentration of FLS reduced 50% of MCF-7 cells viability.

Notes: (A) Western blot analysis of cell cycle and apoptotic-related proteins; CDC2, p-CDC2, BAX, Bcl-2, and p53 in MCF-7 treated with FLS (36 μM) for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Bar chart analysis of related proteins (B) CDC2 and p-CDC2, (C) ratio of BAX/Bcl-2 and (D) p53 after normalized against beta actin (ACTB). The experiment was done in triplicate and the data are expressed as mean ± SE with (*P<0.05). White bars with black dots is CDC2 while black bars with white dots is p-CDC2.
