Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Serum starvation inhibited cell migration. (A) Cells migrated to the basal side of the membrane were stained and images were captured at a magnification of 100×. (B) Results are presented in graphs as the average number of migrated cells on the underside of the filter. **donates P < 0.01, as compared to the control. Experiments were performed in triplicate wells for each condition and repeated at least twice. The significance of difference between the groups was assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test.

Figure 2

Expression of migration-related genes in MDA-MB-231 cells were downregulated by serum starvation after 24, 48, and 72 h. Relative levels are presented as fold change compared with untreated. * and ** denote P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively, as compared to the control. All experiments were performed in triplicate wells for each condition and repeated at least twice. The significance of difference between the groups was assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test.

Cytokine release was assessed by ELISA. TGFβ1, MMP9, IL8, and NO concentrations (mean pg/mL ± SD) were measured in the super-natant of MDA-MB-231 cells underwent serum starvation for 24, 48, and 72 h. Significance was set at *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01. Experiments were performed in triplicate. The significance of difference between the groups was assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test.
