Figure 6From: CSF-1R as an inhibitor of apoptosis and promoter of proliferation, migration and invasion of canine mammary cancer cells Role of CSF-1R signaling in canine mammary cancer cells migration assessed by “wound healing” assay. A. Representative pictures of migration (wound closing) of CMT-U27 cell line: control cells, transfected cells (with csf-1r specific siRNA) and cell treated with CSF-1 (25 ng/ml) at 0 and 6 hrs after the scratch was made. B. The graphs of % of wound closure after the 2, 4 and 6 hrs of migration. The pictures were taken using phase-contrast microscopy (Olympus). The statistical analysis was performed using Prism version 5.00 software (GraphPad Software, USA). The one-way ANOVA was applied to analyze the results. p<0.05 was regarded as significant and marked as *, whereas p<0.01 and p<0.001 were regarded as highly significant and marked as ** and ***, respectively.Back to article page
