Matcha green tea (MGT) inhibits the propagation of cancer stem cells (CSCs), by targeting mitochondrial metabolism, glycolysis and multiple cell signalling pathways

Figure 3. MGT treatment inhibits glycolysis of MCF7 cells. MCF7 cells were seeded and treated with MGT as described above. Extracellular consumption rate (ECAR) was assessed by Seahorse XF Analyser. Top panel: representative trace; bottom panel: bar graph with OCR quantification. Importantly, the treatment significantly reduced the glycolysis and the glycolytic capacity as compared to control cells. Experiments were performed in triplicate, six repeats for each replicate. Bar graphs are shown as the mean ± SEM, t-test, two-tailed test. *p < 0.05.
