Effects of Z-guggulsterone, dehydrocostus lactone and crocin on liver cancer cell migration, assessed by scratch test assay. (a) One hundred percent confluent cells were scratched with a pipette tip and treated with the respective IC40 value for 24 h. Cells were imaged under a light microscope at 0 and 24 h. (b) Cell migration was quantified by measuring wound closure areas at 0 and 24 h. Quantitative data are presented as the means ± standard deviation of three replicates. * p < 0.05 vs. its control group; *** p < 0.0001 vs. its control group.
