Induction and abrogation of G2/M cell-cycle arrest due to overexpression of PTEN and treatment with caffeine. (a) HCT116dotp53 (+ / +) colorectal cancer cells and (b) CCD-18Co normal colorectal fibroblast cells were treated with PBS, Ad-Luc, Ad-PTEN, caffeine, combinations of caffeine with Ad-Luc or Ad-PTEN, or 20 muM LY294002. Cells were harvested 72 hours after treatment and cell-cycle analysis was performed by using flow cytometry. In total 20,000 events were captured for each treatment, and the data are shown as histograms. The cell-cycle phase is represented on the X-axis. Data were generated in duplicate; the average values are shown. Bars denote standard error (SE).
