Following a 48-h incubation of A549 (left) or H358 (middle) cells with vehicle or 0.01 µM to 1 µM cisplatin in serum-free DMEM, the chemoattraction of HUVECs was measured using modified Boyden chamber assays. Values in the right column refer to experiments with cisplatin (in serum-free DMEM) in the lower chamber in the absence of cancer cells (cell-free). HUVECs were resuspended in serum-free DMEM and loaded onto upper chambers. Subsequently, the upper chambers were placed into the cancer cell-containing companion plates and incubated for a further 24 h prior to the read-out of migration. Values are the mean ± SEM of n = 4). ***p < 0.001 vs. corresponding vehicle control, one-way ANOVA plus a post-hoc Dunnett test.
