Table 1 IC50 values for doxorubicin with or without sFZD7 in human heptaoma cell lines following 72 h of drug treatment in vitro

From: Soluble Frizzled-7 receptor inhibits Wnt signaling and sensitizes hepatocellular carcinoma cells towards doxorubicin

Cell line

IC50 (μM) Doxorubicin only

IC50 (μM) Doxorubicin+sFZD7 (2 μg/ml)

Sensitivity Index

Huh7

0.10 ± 0.02

0.05 ± 0.01*

  1. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. The chemosensitizing effects of doxorubicin in combination with sFZD7 are expressed as the sensitivity index (Mean IC50 value for doxorubicin alone/Mean IC50 value for doxorubicin + sFZD7). Independent T-test was used to compare the IC50 values of doxorubicin alone or in combination with sFZD7; * P < 0.05 in both cell lines.
