Methods: I performed a Cell Counting Kit-8, soft agar, and trypan blue exclusion assays to examine the growth inhibitory effect of ZOE in human OSCC cell lines. ZOE-induced apoptosis in human OSCC cell lines was determined by DAPI staining, measurement of the sub-G1 population, annexin V/PI double staining, and western blot analysis. I measured th...
