Figure Lengend Snippet: ACVR1C knockdown inhibits LSCC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. (A) Analysis of ACVR1C expression in RNA-seq data ( GSE127165 ). (B) Quantitative PCR and (C) western blot analysis of the mRNA and protein expression levels of ACVR1C in AMC-HN-8 and FD-LSC-1 cells transfected with si-ACVR1C-1 and 2 or si-NC. Cropped images represent different blots, but samples are from the same experiment and the blots were processed in parallel. (D) Cell Counting Kit-8 and (E) colony formation assays investigated the proliferative ability of LSCC cells transfected with si-ACVR1C or si-NC. In the Transwell assay, ACVR1C knockdown significantly suppressed the (F) migration and (G) invasion of LSCC cells. (H) Western blot analysis of the protein levels of E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin in LSCC cells transfected with si-ACVR1C or si-NC. Cropped images represent different blots, but samples are from the same experiment and the blots were processed in parallel. Scale bar, 100 µ m. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01 and *** P<0.001. ACVR1C, activin A receptor type 1C; LSCC, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma; NC, negative control; si, small interfering RNA.
