(A, B) qRT-PCR and Western blotting to evaluate the level of SLC45A2 mRNA and protein levels 48 h after transfection. All siRNA sequences could result in significant decrease in SLC45A2 mRNA and protein levels expression (P<0.001). (C) Transwell assay. The migration and invasion capacity of C918 and MuM2B cells decreased significantly after SLC45A2 knockdown. (D) Scratch-wound healing assay. A significantly slower wound healing rate was observed in cells with a decreased expression of SLC45A2 gene. All data were presented as the means ± SD of three independent experiments.

The expression levels in samples treated by quercetin were normalized to control samples (untreated). Treatments were performed in three independent experiments and were expressed as the mean ± S.D. Student’s t -test was applied for statistical analysis (** p < 0.005, **** p < 0.0001). After the treatment, there was no significant change in PTEN ( p = 0.7711), whereas AKT ( p = 0.0047) and PI3K ( p = 0.0011) significantly decreased, and Maspin ( p < 0.0001) showed a significant elevation.
