Combination of NCTD and CLSO inhibits colony-formation and migration in HepG2 and HepG2/ADM cells. (a) Representative images were captured from HepG2 and HepG2/ADM cells incubated with NCTD (3 μg/mL) and CLSO (40 μg/mL)) either alone or in combination for 24 h and subjected to cell colony-formation assays. (b) Effects of NCTD (3 μg/mL), CLSO (40 μg/mL) or combined NCTD and CLSO treatment on the migratory potential of HepG2 and HepG2/ADM cells were analyzed by a scratch assay. Migration was analyzed after 24 h incubation and photographed (original magnification, ×10). (c) The above assays were quantified. Data represent three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, vs. control, aP < 0.05; aaP < 0.01 vs. NCTD alone, bP < 0.05; bbP < 0.01 vs. CLSO alone. One-way ANOVA, post hoc comparisons, Tukey’s test. Columns, means; error bars, SDs.
