Fig. 9From: Effects of glutamine deprivation on oxidative stress and cell survival in breast cell linesGlutamine deprivation results in aberrant changes in cell cycle progression. Graphs illustrating cell cycle progression after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h of glutamine deprivation in MCF-7-, MDA-MB-231-, MCF-10A and BT-20 cell lines. MCF-7 cell line (top left) illustrated increased amount of cells in the S-phase. MDA-MB-231 cell line (top right) illustrated increased amount of cells present in the G2/M phase. MCF10-A cell line (bottom left) illustrated decreased amount of cells present in the G1 phase and BT-20 cell line (bottom right) illustrated increased cells present in the G1 phase. Additional file 1: Table S2 illustrate different phases of the cell cycle with the percentage of cells found in the particular phase where an asterisk indicates significance with P-value < 0.05 when compared to cells propagated in complete growth mediumBack to article page
