a Determination of the sensitizing effect and CI value of PPD and oxaliplatin by MTT assay. b Wound healing assay of PLC/PRF/5 and HepG2 cells treated with PPD, OXA, or a combination of PPD and OXA. Wound healing was observed 48 h after treatment. c Changes in the tumor volumes of the PLC/PRF/5 xenografts. Tumor growth was considerably suppressed in the combined treatment group compared with the tumor growths in the PPD and OXA groups. d Number of tumors that shifted to the lungs in different groups. PPD considerably inhibited lung metastasis. e Immunohistochemical staining for E-cadherin and vimentin in tumor samples from xenografts. Data are presented as means of three experiments, and error bars represent SD (*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01)
