Effect of 5-azaCyd and 5-aza-2′-dCyd on the sensitivity of hCNT3-expressing MDCK cells

MDCK-Co and MDCK-CNT3 cells were incubated with different concentrations of 5-azaCyd and 5-aza-2′-dCyd for 72 h, and the cell viability was determined by AlamarBlue assays (n = 8).

  • ↵a IC50 is the nucleoside analog concentration required to reduce cell survival by 50%.

  • ↵b The relative sensitivity is the IC50 for nucleoside analog treatment in MDCK-Co cells divided by the IC50 in MDCK-CNT3 cells.
