Figure Lengend Snippet: Overexpression of FOXJ1 decreased the proliferation, invasion, migration and the level of EMT process through the regulation of cuproptosis. (A) Western blotting showed the overexpression efficiency of FOXJ1 plasmid in HeLa and SiHa cells. (B, C) CCK-8 and EdU assays showing FOXJ1 attenuation of the proliferation of cervical cancer cells. (D) Colony formation assay showing reduced ability of forming colonies after overexpression of FOXJ1. (E) The migration and invasion abilities of cervical cancer cells determined by Transwell assay. (F) Overexpression of FOXJ1 reduced the protein levels of N-cadherin, Vimentin and Snail in cervical cancer cells. (G) Western blot analysis revealed that overexpression of FOXJ1 downregulated the expression of key cuproptosis-related proteins, LIAS and LIP-DLAT. This suppression was reversed upon treatment with the copper chelator TTM (40μM). (H) EdU assays demonstrated that FOXJ1 inhibits the proliferation of HeLa cells via cuproptosis. (I) Transwell assay experiments indicated that FOXJ1 suppresses the migration and invasion abilities of HeLa cells through the cuproptosis. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
