Figure 3. The effect of rapamycin on EA.hy926 cell growth. EA.hy926 cells were treated with 0 to 1,000 ng/ml rapamycin for 24, 48, or 72 h. Cell growth was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay (MTT). 0 ng/ml of rapamycin represents the control group. Bars represent standard deviation (SD; n=6 wells per measurement). Similar results were obtained in three independent experiments, and the data were shown as mean±SD. The asterisk indicates p<0.05, compared with the control group with independent samples t-test.
