BCH (1-100 mM; 3 days; KYSE30 and KYSE150 esophageal cancer cells) treatment suppresses cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner[1].
BCH (30 mM; 24 and 48 hours; KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells) treatment significantly increases cell population in the G0/G1 phase in both KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells, indicating that BCH induces cell cycle arrest at G1 phase[1].
BCH (30 mM; 0-24 hours; KYSE30 and KYSE150 cells) treatment decreases phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 and p70S6K at 30 minutes and the decrease is continued for 24 hours. The amount of mTOR, 4E-BP1, and p70S6K proteins is slightly decreased[1].
