Inducing Proliferation and Cell Survival of SW620 Colon Cancer Cells
Abstract Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, has been used for treatments for all kinds of cancers because it is known to stop the proliferation of cancer cells. For this experiment, we tested SW620 colon cancer cells by treating the cells with 1.5 mM of Vitamin C. We then analyzed these colon cancer cells by Trypan Blue, Propidium Iodine through the flow cytometry and also the WST-1 assay analysis and Caspase 3/7 analysis. The results showed unusable data because…...
