Figure 11. Evaluating the recoverability of LEC following COX-2 inhibition

LEC on capsules treated with drug for one week and were allowed to recover in medium containing vehicle only for a second week. LEC that were incubated in either celecoxib (A and B) or rofecoxib (C and D) during the first week of culture did not undergo EMT. The scale bars are equal to 30 μm (A and C) and to 50 μm (B and D).
