MET-Induced Apoptosis in HT29 and MC26 Cells After Incubation for 72 Hours

		Mean ± SE no. of cells at MET concentration (mM) of:
Cells	Condition	0	0.1	1	10
HT29	Apoptosis	5.6 ± 0.36	5.47 ± 0.07	9.97 ± 0.52^*	59.03 ± 0.85^*
	Necrosis	1.63 ± 0.07	1.97 ± 0.57	4.23 ± 0.30^*	8.27 ± 0.15^*
MC26	Apoptosis	1.87 ± 0.09	1.83 ± 0.19	2.02 ± 0.15	10.93 ± 3.60^†
	Necrosis	0.87 ± 0.12	0.73 ± 0.03	0.43 ± 0.03^†	0.67 ± 0.07

↵* P ≤ 0.005.
↵† P ≤ 0.05.
For significance, MET incubation condition was compared with control condition (no MET added [0 mM]) (n = 3).
