Detection of the metastatic potential of SACC-LM and SACC-83 cells. (a), (b) A Matrigel transwell invasion assay was used to test the ability of SACC-LM and SACC-83 cells to invade the filter membrane. (c), (d) Overview of lung tissues from mice injected with SACC-LM and SACC-83 cells (scale bar = 0.5 cm). Tumors are indicated by black arrows. (e) Values represent the cell number (mean ± SD) per visible field (*p < 0.001). (f) Lung weight (*p < 0.001).
