Representative images of cell motility and colony formation in MDA-MB-231 cells following treatment with various venoms. (A) Cell motility was significantly reduced in MDA-MB-231 cells following treatment with V-1, V-2 and V-3. (B) A 50–63% decrease in cell motility was observed in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with V-1, V-2 and V-3. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. (C) Colony formation was significantly reduced in MDA-MB-231 cells following treatment with V-1, V-2 and V-3. (D) A 40–75% decrease in colony formation was detected upon treatment with all three venoms. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of the count of five independent colonies per high-power field. *P<0.05 vs. control. V, venom.
