ZNE decreases VSMC migration in a concentration-dependent manner. (a) Representative photomicrographs of the effect of 100 and 150 μg/ml of ZNE on VSMC migrating to the lower chamber in transwell migration assay. (b) Mean ± SEM of % control values for VSMC migration to the lower chamber ( replicates). (c) Representative photomicrographs of the effect of 100 and 150 μg/ml of ZNE on VSMC scratch wound healing at 24 hours postscratch. (d) Mean ± SEM of % control values of the residual scratch wound area ( replicates). Statistical significance was tested with ANOVA followed by Tuckey’s post-hoc test. denotes on the indicated comparisons.
