Fig. 4: DCN inhibited LF cell proliferation.

A Calcein-AM/PI double staining of LF cells after intervention with different concentrations of DCN (green, living cells; red, nuclei of dead cells). The scale bar indicates 400 μm. B Quantitative analysis of the percentage of living cells (six random fields of view for each well). C CCK-8 assay of LF cells showed that DCN suppressed the proliferation of LF cells, especially when the concentration of DCN was 100 nM and 200 nM (n = 6). Data are presented as the means ± SDs. ns no significance; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
