Figure 3From: Sorafenib inhibits intracellular signaling pathways and induces cell cycle arrest and cell death in thyroid carcinoma cells irrespective of histological origin or BRAF mutational statusSorafenib induces cell death in thyroid carcinoma cell lines. SW1736, HTh7, BHT101 and ML1 cells were incubated for 14 h and 24 h with 3 μM sorafenib or vehicle (DMSO). LDH release into the cell culture medium was measured using the Cytotox assay (a), and increased caspase 3 and 7 activity was detected using the ApoOne assay (b). Data represent mean values of eight-fold determinations ± standard deviation, and are depicted as percent of vehicle-treated control. *indicates significant increase (p<0.05, Student’s t-test).Back to article page
