Figures & Tables

Figure 1

CTG Assay results using PCS-201-012 cells at 24h,48h and 72h with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% CSF. Three different CSFs were used in the experiments. All experiments were performed in quadruplicate. CSF 3 caused the highest amount of growth out of all the CSFs across all hours and all CSF percentages. There is inhibition of growth with the 75% and 100% but it is more prominent with 100% CSF. This can be seen in all of the time series. Two Way RM ANOVA with Holm-Sidak multiple comparison test was used for statistical analysis.

Figure 2

All the CSF results were combined and presented as one CSF. Variation in cell number can be seen as a variation in luminescence (RLU). The cell number goes up from 24h to 72h but in 100% CSF proliferation is inhibited. Two Way RM ANOVA with Holm-Sidak multiple comparison test was used for statistical analysis.

Figure 3

Wound healing assay where an 80% confluent well was scratched with a pipet tip to create the “scar”. Cells are then allowed to close the scar under different CSF percentages. 0 hours and 96 hours after scar formation is shown above for 0%, 25% and 100% CSF. 25% CSF almost completely closes the wound. 0% CSF mostly closes the wound but patches of unclosed sections are still apparent. 100% CSF fails to close the wound. Some cells can be seen reaching into the wound.

For each given hour different CSF percentages were compared to each other_ Mean difference of each comparison and its statistical significance is indicated_ The degree of significance is indicated with the number of *, higher the number of * stronger the significance_

Relative Luminescence Unit (RLU) values are shown for different CSF concentrations and different hours_ Same letters in the columns indicate no statistically significant difference (p>0_05)_ Same symbols in the rows indicate no statistically significant difference (p>0_05)_ The variability due to the CSF percentages was statistically significant_ Two Way RM ANOVA with Holm-Sidak multiple comparison test was performed for this analysis_
