In the legend of Figure 1,


“(b) Effect of HST (1, 10, 100 μg/mL) on the scratch-induced migration of HOKs over time. (c) Extent of the scratch-induced migration of HOKs treated with HST (1, 10, 100 μg/mL) for 72 h calculated as the ratio of vehicle [confluence of HOKs (%) in wound area treated with HST/that treated with vehicle]. (d) Cell viability in HOKs treated with vehicle or HST (1, 10, 100 μg/mL) for 72 h. Data are expressed as the ratio of vehicle at 72 h.”

In the legend of Figure 2,


“HOKs were treated with 1, 10, or 30 μg/mL of Pinellia tuber (a), Scutellaria root (b), processed ginger (c), Glycyrrhiza (d), jujube (e), ginseng (f), or Coptis rhizome (g).”

In the legend of Table 1,


“HOKs were treated with various ingredients of Scutellaria root (baicalin, baicalein, and wogonin), processed ginger ([6]-shogaol, [8]-shogaol, [10]-shogaol, [6]-gingerol, [8]-gingerol, and [10]-gingerol), and Gglycyrrhiza (glycyrrhizin, liquiritin, isoliquiritin, liquiritin apioside, and isoliquiritigenin) for 72 h. Data are expressed as the ratio of vehicle at 72 h.”

In the legend of Figure 4,


“HOKs were co-treated with HST (100 μg/mL) and an ERK inhibitor U0126 (10 μM, a), JNK inhibitor II (1 μM, b), p38 inhibitor SB202190 (10 μM, c), or a CXCR4 inhibitor BDPA-Zn (3 μM, d).”

In the legend of Figure 6,


“HSC-4 (a), SCC-25 (b), DLD-1 (c), and MKN-45 (d) cell lines were treated with HST for 72 h, then cell growth was measured using Cell Counting Kit-8. HSC-4 (e) and SCC-25 (f) cells were treated with HST (1, 10, and 100 μg/mL) for 72 h, then the area occupied by cancer cells on the scratched area was quantified using IncyCyte scratch wound cell migration software (ESSEN BioScience).”
