Migratory abilities of MCF-7 and MCF-7-14 cells in wound healing assay. (A) Optical microscopic images of in vitro wound healing at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after the creation of wounds. (B) Comparison of images to quantify the migration rate of the cells. Wound distances were measured at each time point and expressed as percent wound closure by comparing the zero time. Data are the means ± SD (n = 3). Statistical analysis was performed by Student's t test. *, P < 0.05; P < 0.01, compared with MCF-7. (C) Optical microscopic images of MCF-7 and MCF-7-14 cells at the invading edges of the wound at 48 h after the creation of wounds.
