Vitamin C inhibits the proliferation and migration of lens epithelial cells. A. The migration potential of HLE-B3 cells was determined by transwell assay with PBS vehicle control or vitamin C (100 μM) during the experiments. The representative images are shown on the left, and the quantification of selected fields is shown on the right; *P<0.001 compared with the control group. B. HLE-B3 cells were treated with PBS vehicle control or vitamin C (100 μM) during the experiments. Representative photographs of colony formation in HLE-B3 cells are shown on the left. Quantification of the colony formation rate is shown on the right; *P<0.001 compared with the control group.
