In vitro cytotoxic effects of GrA and Sal on BxPC-3 and MIA PaCa-2 cells. a Viability of cultured BxPC-3 and MIA PaCa-2 cells treated with appropriate concentrations of GrA or Sal for 48 h by CCK-8 assay. Data of each concentration were from 3 replicated wells. b Flow cytometry results detecting apoptosis in BxPC-3 and MIA PaCa-2 cells were shown. Cells were treated with 0.1 μM GrA or Sal for 24 h. c SEM images presenting surface morphological changes of BxPC-3 and MIA PaCa-2 cells treated with 0.05 μM GrA or Sal, on which the red arrow indicates microvilli-like protrusions on cell membrane surface. Scale bar: 5 μm (left), 500 nm (right)
