Figure Lengend Snippet: Changes in Hs68 cell characteristics in the presence of CAP. Hs68 cell characteristics were examined following treatment of cells with different CAP concentrations (A) Cell viability, (B) migration (cells were also treated with MMC and TNF-α) and (C) percentage closure based on the cell migration assay were determined. (D) Relative mRNA levels of IL-6 in Hs68 cells treated with TNF-α and CAP. Scale bar, 500 µm. **P<0.01, ****P<0.0001. CAP, capsaicin; IL-6, interleukin 6; MMC, mitomycin C; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α.
Article Snippet: The human diploid dermal fibroblast Hs68 cell line (passage 19), which is frequently used in dermal research and has the characteristics of primary dermal fibroblasts , was purchased from the Bioresource Collection and Research Center in the Food Industry Research and Development Institute (Hsinchu, Taiwan).
Techniques: Migration, Cell Migration Assay
