C The bar graphs illustrate the effect of increasing concentrations of ATRA on the growth of the indicated MDA-MB453 clones and the parental cell line. The cell lines were challenged with vehicle (DMSO) or ATRA for 3, 6, and 9 days prior to the sulforhodamine assay. OD = optical density at 540 nm. Each value is the mean ± SD of five replicate culture wells.
