Figure Lengend Snippet: Migration, invasion, and angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma under hypoxia induced by CBFβ-MYH11 through AKT and SHP2 pathways. (A) Western blot experiments were performed to detect the strip maps of MMP2 and HIF1α in the Normoxic group, Hypoxic group, Normoxic+MK-2206 group, Hypoxic+MK-2206 group, Normoxic+Batoprotafib group, and Hypoxic+Batoprotafib group and the relative protein expression statistics; GAPDH as control protein; N = 3; (B) Graphs of experimental results of Transwell assay to detect the cell migration ability of Normoxic group, Hypoxic group, Normoxic+MK-2206 group, Hypoxic+MK-2206 group, Normoxic+Batoprotafib group, and Hypoxic+Batoprotafib group as well as statistical graphs of the number of migrated cells; N = 3; (C) Plots of experimental results of cell scratch assay to detect cell migration ability of Normoxic group, Hypoxic group, Normoxic+MK-2206 group, Hypoxic+MK-2206 group, Normoxic+Batoprotafib group, and Hypoxic+Batoprotafib group as well as statistical plots of cell spacing; N = 3; (D) Graphs of the experimental results of Angiogenesis experiment to detect the angiogenic ability of Normoxic group, Hypoxic group, Normoxic+MK-2206 group, Hypoxic+MK-2206 group, Normoxic+Batoprotafib group, and Hypoxic+Batoprotafib group, as well as statistical graphs of the number of blood vessels; N = 3; (E) The results of HE staining experiments were plotted as well as the statistics of the number of blood vessels. N = 8; Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. **P<0.01; ns P>0.05: There was no significant difference.
