Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Representative photos of transwell assay under different conditions. Scale bar: 200 μm. (B) Fluorescence images of H 2 O 2 stimulated 4T1 cells stained with DCF probe after pre-treatment with/without FCP NPs. Scale bar: 20 μm. (C) The level of IL-6 and TNF-α in cell culture supernatant incubated with/without LPS and pre-treated with/without FCP NPs. Data were presented as means ± standard deviations. ∗indicates P < 0.05, ∗∗indicates P < 0.01 and ∗∗∗indicates P < 0.001 vs LPS group. (D) Study the expression of MMP-9 in 4T1 cells under different concentrations (unit: μg/mL) of FCP NPs by western blotting and (E) the corresponding quantitative analysis. Data were presented as means ± standard deviations. ∗indicates P < 0.05, ∗∗indicates P < 0.01 and ∗∗∗indicates P < 0.001 vs control group.

Article Snippet: Transwell assay: The migration assay were conducted by using 24-well Transwell® permeable supports (Corning, USA) with 10.13039/100022376 FCP NPs (0–400 μg/mL) according to the previous method [ ], and the cells were also photographed with an inverted microscope.

Article Title: Effect of Gracilaria fisheri sulfated galactan with increased sulfation on cell migration and expression of cell adhesion molecules in sodium oxalate-induced HK-2 cell injury

doi: 10.3892/br.2025.2001

Figure Lengend Snippet: Photomicrographs show the effect of SGS on the Transwell migration of HK-2 cells, stained with toluidine blue O at 24 h, with accompanying graphs quantifying the number of migrated cells. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n=3) from three independent experiments. * P<0.05 vs. normal control; # P<0.05 vs. NaOX control. Scale bar, 500 µm. SGS, sulfated galactan with increased sulfation; NaOX, sodium oxalate; Control, no treatment; NaOX control, treated with 1.25 mmol/l of NaOX; 100-SGS + NaOX, treated with 100 µg/ml of SGS combined with 1.25 mmol/l of NaOX; 1000-SGS + NaOX, treated with 1,000 µg/ml of SGS combined with 1.25 mmol/l of NaOX; Cystone + NaOX, treated with 100 µg/ml of Cystone combined with 1.25 mmol/l of NaOX.
