Figure Lengend Snippet: TPL enhances CDDP-promoted CDDP-resistant ESCC cell cycle blockade. (A-C) Cell cycle arrest in TE-1/CDDP and KYSE30/CDDP cells was observed using a flow cytometric assay under various treatment conditions. (D-F) Differences in the level of cell cycle proteins in TE-1/CDDP and KYSE30/CDDP cells under various treatment conditions. *P<0.05. TPL, triptolide; CDDP, cis-diamminedichloro-platinum; ESCC, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; TE-1/CDDP, cisplatin-resistant TE-1 cells; KYSE30/CDDP, cisplatin-resistant KYSE30 cells; CDK4, cyclin-dependent kinase 4.
