Fig. 2From: Reversion of malignant phenotypes of human glioblastoma cells by β-elemene through β-catenin-mediated regulation of stemness-, differentiation- and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-related molecules β-Elemene inhibited the proliferation and viability of glioblastoma cells. a G1 and G2 cells were fusiform or polygonal, displaying clear cellular atypia and pathological nuclear fission. Upon treatment with β-elemene, the glioblastoma cells gradually shrank, and a small proportion of the cells died and floated in the medium. b Cell viability was clearly inhibited by β-elemene in a concentration-dependent manner. c Cell numbers were impaired by β-elemene in a concentration-dependent manner. d The molecular structure of β-elemene. The values are presented as the mean ± SD (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01). Scale bar 100 µmBack to article page
