Effect of CAPE on cell migration and invasion in SCC-9 cells. (a) The cell migration and (b) cell invasion were measured using a Boyden chamber for 16 h and 24 h with polycarbonate filters, respectively. The migration and invasion abilities of SCC-9 cells were quantified by counting the number of cells that invaded to the underside of the porous polycarbonate as described in Section 2. The values represented the means ± SD of at least three independent experiments. * as compared with the vehicle group.
