Figure Lengend Snippet: SEM analysis of Myr-B peptide-induced effects on human colon cancer Caco-2 cells. SEM micrographs (acquired and processed using JEOL inTouchScope Interface software) of untreated Caco-2 cells (negative control) ( a , b ), Caco-2 cells after 3 h exposure to 50 μM Myr-B ( c , d ) and 50 μM Pep-B ( e , f ) and Caco-2 cells treated with 2% NaN 3 (positive control) ( g , h ). Magnification and scale bars = ( a – d ) 1500× and 10 μm, respectively; ( e – h ) 10,000× and 1 μm, respectively.
Article Snippet: The human colon cancer Caco-2 cell line (ATCC HTB-37) was cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% ( v / v ) FBS, 1% ( w / v ) glutamine, 1% ( w / v ) penicillin–streptomycin, 1% Non-Essential Amino Acids and 1% sodium pyruvate and maintained at 37 °C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO 2 [ ].
