Wound healing assay demonstrates high migratory potential of the radiation survived sphere cells. Non-irradiated NSCLC cells, radiation survived adherent cells, non-irradiated sphere cells and radiation survived sphere cells were collected and grown to monolayers in 6-well plates. Then cells were scratched and incubated for 0–24 hours. (A,B) The migratory rates of the bulk NSCLC cells (grey), of the radiation survived adherent cells (green), of the non-irradiated sphere cells (red) and of the radiation survived sphere cells (blue) in a wounding assay, were determined by measuring wound width as a function of time. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of three experiments.
