Objective: To explore the role of the natural compound hesperidin in glycolysis, the key ratelimiting enzyme, in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines.

Methods: In vitro, HCT116 and SW620 were treated with different doses of hesperidin (0-500 µmol/L), cell counting kit-8 and colone formation assays were utilized to detected inhibition effect of hesperidin on CRC cell lines. Transwell and wound healing assays were performed to detect the ability of hesperidin (0, 25, 50 and 75 µmol/L) to migrate CRC cells.

The quantification and control of molecular densities and distributions on biofunctionalized surfaces are key for enabling reproducible functions in biosciences. Here, we describe an analysis methodology for quantifying the density and spatial distribution of high-density biofunctionalized surfaces, with densities in the order of 10-10 biomolecules per μm area, in a short measurement time. The methodology is based on single-molecule DNA-PAINT imaging combined with simulation models that compensate for lifetime and spatial undersampling effects, resulting in three distinct molecule counting methods and a statistical test for spatial distribution.
