In vitro invasiveness of the ovarian cancer cells was assessed by quantifying the number of cells that invaded the Matrigel. Polycarbonate Transwell filters was coated with ~100μg/100μL of diluted Matrigel solution. Then, the cells (2 × 104) were added to the upper chamber with either DMSO or 100μM SsaI and 10% FBS medium was added as a chemoattractant in the lower chamber followed by incubation at 37°C for 24 h. The cells that travelled through the filter were stained and counted from 7 to 10 random fields of view at 400 × magnification.
