(A) Migration of A549 cells analyzed using Boyden chamber assay 48 h after treatment. a: Control; b: free siRNA; c: blank polymer nanoparticles; d: polyplex with scrambled siRNA; e: polyplex with VEGF siRNA. VEGF silencing slows down the migration of A549 cells. The cells were stained using 0.5% crystal violet for visualization and images were taken using phase-contrast microscopy. The scale bars represent 50 μm. (B) Migration of the A549 cells 48 h after treatment, *p < 0.05 vs control.
