Figure 4From: Isomalto oligosaccharide sulfate inhibits tumor growth and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice Inhibitory effects of IMOS on HCCLM3 cell adhesion, migration, and invasiveness. (A) Representative images of adhesion cell (×200) and (B) HCCLM3 adhesion was markedly inhibited by IMOS at doses of 16, 32, and 64 mg/mL as compared with sham treatment. (C) Representative images of migration distances (×100) and (D) HCCLM3 migrations began to be significantly inhibited by 16 mg/mL IMOS after a 24-hour treatment, and by 4 mg/mL IMOS after a 48-hour treatment (P < 0.01). (E) Representative images of transmembrane cells (×200) after treatment with 0, 16, 32, and 64 mg/mL IMOS. (F) Invasiveness of HCCLM3 was inhibited by IMOS in a dose-dependent manner.Back to article page
