  • Doxo, doxorubicin; RR, resistance ratio (the quotient of the IC50 value of the resistant cell line to that of the parental line).

  • a P < 0.05 (α < 0.05, from initial IC50 value of resistant cell line) by Student’s two-tailed t test.

  • b P < 0.01 (α < 0.05, from initial IC50 value of resistant cell line) by Student’s two-tailed t test.

  • c P < 0.001 (α < 0.05, from initial IC50 value of resistant cell line) by Student’s two-tailed t test.

  • d P < 0.0001 (α < 0.05, from initial IC50 value of resistant cell line) by Student’s two-tailed t test.
