DiAcSpm promotes proliferation. (a) The CCK-8 assay showed that DiAcSpm increased the growth rate at a concentration of 0.2 and 0.5 μm in SW480 and Caco-2 cell lines ( DiAcSpm 0.5 μm vs. control). (b) Flow cytometry showed that DiAcSpm treatment (0.5 μm) increased the S phase population and decreased the G1 phase population in both SW480 and Caco-2 cell lines ( DiAcSpm vs. control). (c) Western blotting showed that DiAcSpm treatment upregulated protein expressions of cyclin D1 and cyclin E. (d) The ATP assay showed that DiAcSpm treatment increased the ATP production rate in both SW480 and Caco-2 cell lines ( DiAcSpm vs. control).
