BML-284 (10 μM; 24 hours) significantly increases the migration and invasion of both MNK45 and AGS cells and partially restores the migratory and invasive abilities of cells inhibited by pizotifen (HY-B0115)[1].BML-284 (10 μM; 24 hours) induces the expression of β-catenin significantly when compared with the NC group. It also partially reverses the effects induced by pizotifen on E-cadherin and N-cadherin expression in MNK45 and AGS cells compared with the pizotifen-treated group[1].
