Figures & data

Figure 1. Sufentanil decreased the viability of lung cancer cells. (a) The molecular formula of sufentanil. (b) The cell viability of the H460 and H1299 was detected by MTT assay after sufentanil (0.5, 1, 2 nM) treatment. (c) The cell viability of the H460 and H1299 was detected by MTT assay at 12, 24, 48 h, after 2 nM sufentanil treatment.

*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 VS Control group.

Figure 2. Sufentanil decreased the proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of the lung cancer cells. (a-b) The cell proliferation of the H460 and H1299 cells was measured by colony formation and EdU assays after 2 nM sufentanil treatment. (c-d) The migration and invasion abilities of the H460 and H1299 cells were tested by transwell assay after 2 nM sufentanil treatment. (e) The protein expressions of Vimentin, N-cadherin, E-cadherin and ZO-1 were measured by western blot after 2 nM sufentanil treatment.
