Cell migration and fibrosis are significantly inhibited by ICG-001 and C-82. (A) Scratch assay for 24 hours. Representative photos at 0 and 24 hours are shown. The control became confluent after 24 hours. (B) The analysis of the reduction of the ratio of the scratched area (cell migration ratio) at 24 hours. The data are shown as relative values at 24 hours against the scratched area of the controls at 0 hours. ICG-001 and C-82 inhibited cell migration significantly compared with controls. n = 5. *p < 0.05, Student’s t-test. (C) Representative result of a collagen gel contraction assay in ECSC. The concentrations of ICG-001 and C-82 were 20 μM and 2 μM, respectively. (D) Collagen gel contraction was significantly inhibited by ICG-001 and C-82. n = 3. *p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, Student’s t-test. Error bars represent standard deviation (SD).
