Effects of triptolide on the migratory abilities of ovarian cancer cells. (A) SKOV3 and A2780 cells were exposed to triptolide at the concentration from 5 to 500nM, survival of cells were detected by MTT assay. (B) After incubation with 15 nM triptolide or Paclitaxel for 24 h and 48 h, the migratory abilities of SKOV3 and A2780 cells were evaluated by the wound healing assay. Photographs shown here are representative images for SKOV3 cells. (C) Relative wound closure was calculated by comparing wound width to the wound width for the control cells. *P < 0.01 vs. untreated cells, #P < 0.01 vs. Paclitaxel.
