Figure 1

Antiproliferative effect of FKB on OS cells. A, Four OS cell lines and fibroblast cell line (HESC) were used and cells were treated with FKB at the indicated concentration in the figure for 72 h, and cell viabilities were measured by MTT assay. B, 143B cells were treated with indicated concentrations for 24, 48 or 72 h. C, anchorage-independent colony formation assay showed significantly decreased number of colonies formed by 143B cells treated with FKB compared with control group; inset, representative photography of soft agar colonies at 14 days after cell seeding. An asterisk (*) indicates a significant difference in comparison with the control group (p<0.05).
