PTEN inhibition increased the wound healing rate in the HCE monolayer within 10 minutes after bpv(pic) treatment. (A) HCE monolayer was scratch wounded. Time-lapse images were taken every 10 minutes for 3 hours. (B) Image analysis with research imaging software demonstrated that the rate of wound healing increased significantly when PTEN was inhibited. (C) The rate of wound healing was analyzed within the first hour (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes) after bpv treatment. The wound healing rate increased as quickly as 10 minutes after bpv treatment. Values are presented as the mean ± SD taken from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01. Scale bars, 60 μm.
