RETRACTED: Cholesterol Promotes Colorectal Cancer Growth by Activating the PI3K/AKT Pathway

Figure 4

Cholesterol stimulates proliferation and inhibits apoptosis in CRC. (a) Cholesterol levels of mice in the ND, HFD, and HFHC groups. (b) Cell viability in SW480 and HCT116 cell lines with or without cholesterol treatment for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days. Colonogenic assay was measured in SW480 and HCT116 cell lines treated with or without cholesterol. (c) Ki-67 and TUNEL staining of tissues of mice in the ND, HFD, and HFHC groups.
