Figure 7: Determination of the phytochemical effect on the invasiveness of MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Cell invasiveness is demonstrated by Boyden chamber invasion assay. Images of Boyden chamber membranes (bottom panels) represent the number of invaded cells, illustrating the difference in invaded cell numbers. Note the reduction in invasion capability of MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cell after 6-combination treatment. All data were performed in triplicate and in three independent experiments. Black bars represent MCF7 cells invasion, while the grey bars represent MDA-MB-231 cell invasion (student’s two-tailed t-test, *P<0.05; **P<0.01, ***P<0.001). |
