Effect of asiaticoside on TGF-β1-induced migration ability of HPMCs. Notes: HPMCs were exposed to asiaticoside (150 μM) with or without TGF-β1 (10 ng/cm3) and subjected to microscope to visualize the lateral (A) and longitudinal (B) migration of cells. Quantitative measurements of the fluorescence intensities were conducted using ImageJ software. Five random fields for each insert were counted, and three independent experiments were performed in each group. n = 3. Abbreviations: AS, asiaticoside; TGF-β1, transforming growth factor-β1
