Figure 1. Effect of TA on uveal melanoma
cell proliferation. Cells were treated with two different suspensions:
Park Memorial Institute/Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (RPMI/DMEM;
control) or 100 μM TA suspension. Cell proliferation was
determined by a WST-1 assay (absorbance [OD] and the mean±SD is
provided for each time point [n=8]). No substantial difference was seen
in proliferation of uveal melanoma cell lines between TA treatment and
control (cell line 92.1 [p=0.755], OCM-1 [p=0.844], and Mel285
[p=0.487]). Abbreviations: OD is optical density; TA is triamcinolone
acetonide; CO is control.
