Effect of PPARγ on HCC cells invasive abilityby Matrigel invasion assay. (A) Representative images of the cell invasive and metastatic ability in MHCC97L and BEL-7404 cells treated with Ad-LacZ, Ad-LacZ+rosiglitzaone, Ad-PPARγ, or Ad-PPARγ+rosiglitazone at 48 h. (B) Quantification of cell invasion was determined by counting cells that invaded through the Matrigel membrane under a light microscopy( × 100). The relative cell number ratio of each group was presented by comparing to the Ad-LacZ group (control). The experiment was performed for three times in triplicate. The data are expressed as mean±s.d., *P<0.001, **P<0.0001, compared with the Ad-lacZ.
