“…The range of NaVO 3 and VOSO 4 concentrations were selected based on previous reports by different authors all of which used the same concentrations of vanadium compounds with valence (+4) and (+5) on the A549 lung cancer cell line (A549) and/or MCF7, MCF10, HTB44, DU145, Cal27, SKBR3 and RMS (Chien, Mak, & Huang, ; Dabros, Adamczyk, Ciurkot, & Kordowiak, ; Islas et al, ; Khalil & Jameson, ; Klein, Holko, Ligeza, & Kordowiak, ; Petanidis, Kioseoglou, Hadzopoulou‐Cladaras, & Salifoglou, ; Suzuki, Inageda, Nishitai, & Matsuoka, ). In previous unreported experiments, we observed that vanadium concentrations higher than 100 μ m induced a 60% or higher decrease in cell viability.…”
