Figure 1. Stearate inhibited cell migration and invasion.

Figure 1

A) Hs578t cells were treated with FAF-BSA or 50 μM stearate for 12 hours and then a scratch assay was performed. Representative images of the wound 24 hours after treatment with stearate or FAF-BSA are shown. Stearate significantly decreased the migratory ability of the cells 12 and 24 hours post treatment. (n=3; *p<0.001 by ANOVA). B) Hs578t cells were plated on Matrigel coated invasion chambers and treated with 50 μM stearate. After 24 hours the number of cells that invaded through the Matrigel was counted. Stearate treatment abolished invasion of the Hs578t cells (n=3; *p<0.0001 by ANOVA). Representative images of the crystal violet stained cells 24 hours post-treatment are shown.
