Apoptotic Effects of Xanthium strumarium via PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Figure 4

Effects of XS-5 and XS-6 on migration and invasion of HCC cells. (a) Representative images of a wound healing assay in which Huh-7 cells were treated or not treated with XS-5 and XS-6 (100 μg/ml) for 24–48 h. All images were captured at 200X magnification. (b) Cell invasion assay was performed using Matrigel-coated transwells. Cells were treated or not treated with XS-5 and XS-6 (100 μg/ml) for 48 h and stained with 0.5% crystal violet. Images were captured at 200x magnification. The number of invaded cells was presented as the mean ± SD from triplicate experiments ( and vs control).
