FIGURE 9.
Free CUR and CUR-NPs suppress the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells. (A,B) A wound-healing assay was performed to investigate the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells after being treated with free CUR, CUR-NPs, or carrier. (C,D) The invasion abilities of MDA-MB-231 were studied by the transwell assay after cells were treated with free CUR, CUR-NPs, or carrier. NC, treated with negative control; carrier, treated with the carrier of PEG5k-b-PLLA5k; CUR, treated with free CUR; CUR-NPs, treated with CUR-loaded PEG5k-b-PLLA5k nanoparticles. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
