“After the combined application of RSG and ATRA , the positive rates significantly declined to only 19.33, 20.58 and 13.13%, respectively (P<0.01).”
“In conclusion, the combination of RSG and ATRA reduced the expression of COX-2, MMP-7 and TIMP-1, caused cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and induced apoptosis, which resulted in the inhibition of cell proliferation in the HCT-15 human colorectal cancer cell line.”
“The combination of RSG and ATRA exhibited significant synergy (q>1.15).”
“The combination of RSG and ATRA resulted in even stronger G1 cell cycle arrest (P<0.05).”
