Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of leflunomide (LEF) on the proliferation and migration of human OSCC cell lines. a Effect of LEF on the growth of human OSCC cell lines SAS, Ca9-22, HSC2, and HSC3. OSCC cells were treated with the indicated amount of LEF or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a control for 24, 48, and 72 h, and the CCK-8 assay was performed. b The colony formation assay was also performed to determine the effect of LEF on proliferation into OSCC cells. The left panel shows representative pictures in each cell line, whereas the right panel shows a quantitative analysis of colony formation. Each experiment was performed > 5 times and obtained similar results. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test. Values are presented as means ± SEM versus control (* p < 0.05)
