    SLC45A2 knockdown inhibits cell migration and clonogenicity in uveal melanoma <t>C918</t> and MuM2B cells. (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. (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001).

    (A) Schematic representation of the zebrafish xenograft assay. (B) Migration capacity was assessed in <t>MeWo-GFP</t> or A375P-GFP cells. Starting 48h after siRNA transfection, cell migration was tracked by live microscopy for 16 h. Migration velocity was reduced in both cell lines following PFKFB4 knockdown with siRNA targeting PFKFB4 (siPFKFB4), compared with cells transfected with non-targeting control siRNA (siCtrl). Bar plots represent mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (unpaired t- test). Kernel density plots illustrate the distribution of migration speeds in siCtrl versus siPFKFB4 groups. (C) (E) Number of invasive MeWo-GFP foci (C) or A375P-GFP foci (E) per fish at 3 days post injection (dpi) after transfection with siCtrl or siPFKFB4. (D) (F) Representative zebrafish larvae at 3 dpi xenografted with MeWo-GFP (D) or A375P-GFP (F) cells after transfection with siCtrl or siPFKFB4. Asterisks indicate invasive foci detached from the primary tumor. Orange dotted lines mark the swim bladder boundary. (G) Number of distant <t>metastatic</t> A375P-GFP foci, defined as cells migrating > 300 μm from the tumor boundary. (H) Magnification of the tail region showing A375P-GFP cells metastasizing to caudal hematopoietic tissue. In panels C , E , and G , each dot represents one fish. Statistical significance was determined by unpaired t- test. n.s., not significant (P > 0.05); *P < 0.05; dpi, days post injection; dpf, days post fertilization.
