Fig. 3From: Molecular iodine inhibits the expression of stemness markers on cancer stem-like cells of established cell lines derived from cervical cancerCK17 is reduced by I2 treatment in HeLa and SiHa monolayers and spheres cells. Monolayer cultures of HeLa and SiHa cells were treated with 200 μM (I2) for 24 h (tinted grey with line), without treatment (black line), isotype (long dashes) (a and d). Sphere cultures of HeLa and SiHa cells were treated with 200 μM (I2) for 24 h (tinted grey with line), without treatment (black line), isotype (long dashes) (b and e). CK17 was analyzed by flow cytometry. (a, b, d, e). Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3 independent assays), and the asterisk indicates a significant difference with respect to the control (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001) (c and f)Back to article page
