Effect of DSEA on the migration of Hep G2 cells

Microphotographs of Hep G2 cells (a) and quantitative analysis (b) of the wound migration assay. Hep G2 cells were seeded in a 24-well plate and the confluent monolayers were wounded and then incubated in serum-free medium with 0, 1.35, and 2.70 μmol/L DSEA. At 0, 12, and 24 h after wounding, the cells were photographed under an inverted microscope. Migration rate was expressed as a percentage of control (0 μmol/L). Data represent the mean±SD of three independent experiments. ^* P<0.01 vs. control (0 μmol/L)
