Summary: Analysis using HoloMonitor revealed qualitative differences in the normal behavior of the A375 cells under study as a result of cystatin C addition. The motility of the cells was significantly affected. The mitosis phase was considerably prolonged in cells grown in cystatin C containing medium, indicating that the proliferation-inhibiting effect of the protease inhibitor may be through its direct action on proteolytic processes in the mitosis phase.
