Abstract
We demonstrate herein a refined method to evaluate the migration capacity of monolayer cells using the CellProfiler pipeline. We used MDA-MB-231 cells, a triple-negative breast cancer cell line, as a model to perform the wound healing assay and proceeded with the pipeline analysis. In order to see a contrast in our analysis of cell migration, we treated the cells with 10 µM kartogenin for 48 h and compared the result to the control cells treated with 0.1 % dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The migration rate of MDA-MB-231 cells could be measured precisely using this method whereby in the presence of 10 µM kartogenin, the cells migrated at 6.3 ± 1.7µmh−1 whilst the vehicle control migrated at 9.1 ± 3.2 µmh−1 (p < 0.05). The small changes in the rate of migration could be significantly differentiated and we believe that this method is accurate in analyzing data of scratch assays as it is of high precision and therefore can be used for high-throughput screenings.
期刊介绍:
Acta histochemica, a journal of structural biochemistry of cells and tissues, publishes original research articles, short communications, reviews, letters to the editor, meeting reports and abstracts of meetings. The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for the cytochemical and histochemical research community in the life sciences, including cell biology, biotechnology, neurobiology, immunobiology, pathology, pharmacology, botany, zoology and environmental and toxicological research. The journal focuses on new developments in cytochemistry and histochemistry and their applications. Manuscripts reporting on studies of living cells and tissues are particularly welcome. Understanding the complexity of cells and tissues, i.e. their biocomplexity and biodiversity, is a major goal of the journal and reports on this topic are especially encouraged. Original research articles, short communications and reviews that report on new developments in cytochemistry and histochemistry are welcomed, especially when molecular biology is combined with the use of advanced microscopical techniques including image analysis and cytometry. Letters to the editor should comment or interpret previously published articles in the journal to trigger scientific discussions. Meeting reports are considered to be very important publications in the journal because they are excellent opportunities to present state-of-the-art overviews of fields in research where the developments are fast and hard to follow. Authors of meeting reports should consult the editors before writing a report. The editorial policy of the editors and the editorial board is rapid publication. Once a manuscript is received by one of the editors, an editorial decision about acceptance, revision or rejection will be taken within a month. It is the aim of the publishers to have a manuscript published within three months after the manuscript has been accepted
