Figure 7From: Penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose induces G1arrest and DNA replicative S-phase arrest independently of P21 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A, P27 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B and P53 in human breast cancer cells and is orally active against triple-negative xenograft growthPGG intake by oral gavage inhibits MDA-MB231 tumor growth in female athymic nude mice. Starting 4 days after cell inoculation, PGG (20 mg/kg) was gavaged with 2% Tween-80 as vehicle to these animals once a day. (a) Body weight. (b) Tumor volume. Values are mean ± standard deviation (n = 10 mice per group). Statistical significance: analysis of variance PGG effect on tumor size, P < 0.0001. PGG, penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose.Back to article page
