Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Sample images of 2D wavelet analysis of ES2 cells. The wavelet analyses on the C and CG VM images (upper panels) are shown as decomposed by the MATLAB wavelet analyzer application (lower panels) from the original images, where the axes correspond to the pixel sizes. The wavelet decomposition images were analyzed with the Haar wavelet basis at level 3 where the axes correspond to the wavelet coefficients (diagonal coefficient not shown). (B) Mean branching clusters assessed by 2D wavelet analysis of ES2 VM. Histogram statistics from 2D wavelet analysis in ES2 model showing the mean percolation clusters observed with all 8 catechins tested ( P < .0001, r 2 = 0.999 when comparing gallated vs ungallated groups). VM, vasculogenic mimicry; C, catechin; CG, catechin gallate; EC, epicatechin; ECG, epicatechin gallate; EGC, epigallocatechin; EGCG, epigallocatechin-3-gallate; GC, gallocatechin; GCG, gallocatechin gallate.
Article Snippet: Human SKOV3 ovarian adenocarcinoma cells as well as human ES2 ovarian clear cell carcinoma cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), and monolayers cultured as previously described with McCoy’s 5a Modified Medium for ES2 cells (Wisent, 317-010-CL), and DMEM medium (Wisent, 319-005-CL) for SKOV3 cells both containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies, 12483-020), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 mg/mL streptomycin (Wisent, 450-202-EL).
