Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Microscopic view of the cell migration inhibition assay of the HepG2 cell line after 48 hours. (B) Quantitative analysis of the wound area by calculating the wound closure percentage and migration rate after 48 hours, compared to the initial time (0 hours). (C) Relative fold change in the gene expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in cells treated with synthetic compounds (4–6a,b) in HepG-2. All assays were conducted in triplicate, and the results are expressed as mean ± SEM. MMP: matrix metalloproteinase.
Article Snippet: Normal human skin fibroblasts (HSF), the human breast cancer epithelial cell line (MDA), and the human liver cancer cell line (HepG2) were purchased from VACCERA Egypt and obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
