Figure Lengend Snippet: Knocking down of Piezo1 suppressed the migration and invasion of CC cells. A – C Microscopy imaging showed that the transfection was successful; D – F Western blot analysis of Piezo1 expression in HeLa and SiHa cells after Piezo1 knockdown; G , H Cell migration detected via wound healing assay after Piezo1 knockdown; I , J Quantization of G and H ; K , L Cell migration and invasion assays were examined by Transwell after Piezo1 knockdown; M , N Quantization of K and L ; * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001
Article Snippet: Human CC cell lines HeLa and SiHa were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in high-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) containing 10% FBS with 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 U/ml streptomycin.
