Article Title: Periostin serves an important role in the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma
doi: 10.3892/ol.2018.9660
Figure Lengend Snippet: Impact of periostin on the growth characteristics of OSCC cells. (A) mRNA and (B) protein levels of periostin were examined by reverse transcription- quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively, after the cells were transfected with the overexpression plasmid or periostin siRNA. (C) Stimulatory effect of periostin on the proliferation of transfected SCC9 and SCC25 cells, as evaluated by the MTS assay. *P<0.05 vs. corresponding control group. OSCC, oral squamous cell carcinoma; siRNA, small interfering RNA; Ctrl, control.
Article Snippet: Cell culture Human OSCC cell lines SCC-9 and SCC-25 (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were used between passages 10 and 20.
