Article Title: GATA binding protein 5-mediated transcriptional activation of transmembrane protein 100 suppresses cell proliferation, migration and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in prostate cancer DU145 cells
doi: 10.1080/21655979.2021.2018979
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of GATA5 silencing on TMEM100-mediated migration, invasion and EMT of DU145 cells. Cell proliferation was identified by CCK-8 assay (a) and colony formation assay (b). C, Wound healing assay was implemented to assess cell migration. D, Transwell assay was employed to detect cell invasion. E, Protein levels of MMP2 and MMP9 were investigated by Western blot assay. F and G, EMT-related proteins was determined with detection of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin and Snail. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. ***P < 0.001 versus Oe-NC. # P < 0.05, ## P < 0.01, ### P < 0.001 versus Oe-TMEM100+ sh-NC.
Article Snippet: The pc-DNA3.1 vector containing the whole length of TMEM100 (Oe-TMEM100), GATA binding protein 5 (GATA5)-specific pcDNA overexpression plasmid (Oe-GATA5) and negative control empty pcDNA (Oe-NC), short hairpin (sh) RNA targeting GATA5 (sh-GATA5-1/2) and the corresponding negative control (sh-NC) were synthesized by Shanghai GeneChem Co., Ltd.
