From: Histone deacetylase inhibitor sodium butyrate suppresses DNA double strand break repair induced by etoposide more effectively in MCF-7 cells than in HEK293 cells

Figure 2

Sodium butyrate decreases the proportion of cells in S phase for both HEK293 and MCF-7 cells. HEK293 and MCF-7 cells were treated with DMSO vehicle, 0.5, 2.0, or 8.0 mM sodium butyrate for 24 h. Cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry using propidium iodide staining. Representative histograms are shown above, and quantification of the cells in each phase of the cell cycle is provided below. The values represent the means + SD of triplicate experiments. **P< 0.01 versus vehicle-treated cells.
