Stattic Enhances Radiosensitivity and Reduces Radio-Induced Migration and Invasion in HCC Cell Lines through an Apoptosis Pathway

Figure 3

Stattic inhibits radio-induced migration in HCC cell lines. A wound was made by scratching a confluent monolayer with the tip of a 10 μl pipette. HCC cells pretreated with stattic or DMSO were irradiated with 4 Gy of X-ray and then placed in the incubator to culture for 24 h. Pictures were taken by an inverted microscope (100 magnifications). The width of the scratch was calculated using Motic Image Plus 2.2S. Each experiment was performed three times. , versus irradiation group; data were expressed as mean ± SD. Scale bar = 100 μm.
