β-lapachone suppressed the migratory and invasive capacities of the breast cancer cells. (A) MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with DMSO (control), 1 μM, 2 μM, 4 μM β-lap for 12 h, 24 h, or 48 h after scratching. The uncovered areas in the wound healing assays were quantified according to the percentage of the original wound area. (B) MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 4 μM β-lap for 48 h in the transwell migration assays. The numbers of invading cells were calculated in three different fields (200 × ). (C) MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 4 μM β-lap for 48 h in the Boyden chamber assay. The numbers of invading cells were calculated in three different fields (200×). **P < 0.01 is based on One-Way Anova. All results are from three independent experiments. Error bars, SD.
