Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. Downregulation of Srx reduces invasion and migration in HeLa and SiHa cells. (a) (upper panels) and (c) (upper panels) Matrigel invasion assay was performed in HeLa and SiHa cells with Srx knockdown. (a) (lower panels) and (c) (lower panels) The effects of Srx downregulation on the migration in HeLa and SiHa cells was assessed by Transwell chamber assay without Matrigel coating. (b) After 24 h of incubation, the number of cell invasion and migration in HeLa cells was counted under the microscope (×120). (d) After 24 h of incubation, the number of invaded cells and migrated cells of SiHa cells was counted under the microscope (×120). The values are expressed as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.05.
Article Snippet: The immunostaining intensity of Srx was assessed as follows: 0 (0) = no staining, 1+ (1–4) = weak staining, 2+ (4–8) = moderate staining and 3+ (8–12) = intense staining.19 Cell lines and cell culture Human CSCC cell lines (SiHa) were obtained from Proteintech and were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM; Gibco, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies, USA) at 37°C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2.
