Current Significance Fig. 3. Induction of G2/M arrest in HL-60 cells by G. lucidum extract. Panel a shows cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry after PI staining for untreated control cells. Panel b depicts cell cycle analysis for cells treated with G. lucidum , 100 μg/ml for 72 h. Increasing number of HL-60 cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle were detected. Horizontal and vertical axis represent DNA content and cell number, respectively. Percentages of the different cell cycle phases are calculated for the population of cells within the dashed lines. Representative of one of two experiments with similar results.

Current Significance Fig. 2. Growth arrest of hematologic cell lines induced by G. lucidum extract. Cells included: panel a, acute myeloid leukemia (HL-60, U937); panel b, erythroid chronic myeloid leukemia (K562); panel c, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Blin-1, Nalm-6); panel d, multiple myeloma (RPMI8226). Cells of each line were treated with G. lucidum (10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 μ g/mg) for 96 h. MTT assay was performed. Viable cells were expressed as a percentage of untreated control cultures for each line. Results represent the mean ± S.D. of three different experiments performed in triplicates. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
