Figure 3

Toxicity of Sodium Phosphate Dibasic (Na2HPO4) to THP-1, human monocyte cell line and MDA-MB-231, human breast cancer cell line, evaluated via (a) MTT assay and (b) live/dead assay after 48 h of incubation with the compound. At low concentrations (< or = 20 mM), Na2HPO4 is more toxic to MDA-MB-231 cells than it is to THP-1 cells. At high concentrations (> 20 mM), Na2HPO4 is toxic to both cell types. For fluorescence images, live cells are stained in green while dead cells are stained in red. Experiments were done in triplicate and the sample number for each replicate is 3.
