Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 2. Effects of CXC195 on the proliferation of HepG2 cells. (A) Cell cycle distribution was examined using flow cytometry. (B and C) Protein expres sion levels of PCNA, Ki67, CDK4, cyclin D1, p21, p27 and p53 were determined using western blot analysis. GAPDH was used to confirm equal protein loading. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=6). *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, vs. control. PCNA, proliferating cell nuclear antigen; CDK4, cyclin‑dependent kinase 4; Con, control.
