Cryptotanshinone inhibits cytotoxin-associated gene A-associated development of gastric cancer and mucosal erosions

Figure 3 Cryptotanshinone inhibits the cytotoxin-associated gene A-induced proliferation of AGS cells. A: AGS cells were treated with cryptotanshinone (CTS) (0–10 μmol/L) for 24 h, and proliferation was detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. B: AGS cells with or without cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) expression were treated with the indicated doses of CTS (0-1.25 μmol/L) for 24 h, and cell growth was detected by the CCK-8 assay. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation from triplicate experiments. ^aP < 0.05; ^bP < 0.01.
