BN 52021 and trans-BTD effects on measured migration parameters
| Drug condition | Mean total number of migrated cells | Mean distance of migration (μm) | Mean neurite length (μm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 256.6 ± 1.9 | 119.3 ± 0.6 | 332.9 ± 1.5 |

| 100 μmBN 52021 | *407.4 ± 2.3 | *159.6 ± 0.7 | 333.1 ± 1.1 |
| 100 μm BN 52021 blinded | a258.3 ± 1.3 | a121.1 ± 0.8 | 332.6 ± 1.0 |
| 50 μm trans-BTD | *366.9 ± 1.9 | *150.3 ± 0.6 | 331.8 ± 1.2 |

BN 52021 (50 and 100 μm) and 50 μmtrans-BTD significantly increased (p< 0.001) the mean total number of migrating cells and the mean distance of migration compared with serum-free media controls, whereas 50 μmcis-BTD and DMSO (at the final concentration for 50 μm BN 52021 in serum-free media) did not. Surprisingly, these values from blinded experiments with 100 μm BN 52021 were not significantly different from the corresponding serum-free media control values (ap = not significant). BN 52021 andtrans-BTD did not significantly affect the mean neurite length compared with serum-free media-treated controls (p = not significant). Numbers are ± SE. Asterisk indicates values significantly different than the corresponding serum-free media control value.
