Figure Lengend Snippet: AZGP1 regulates the cell proliferation and migration of PCa cells. A Relative expression of AZGP1 in seven prostate epithelial cell lines in the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) database. B Relative expression of AZGP1 in five human prostate epithelial cell lines: 22RV1, LNCaP, PC3, and DU145. C qRT-PCR analyses of AZGP1 mRNA in PC3 cells treated with negative control (NC) or AZGP1 pcDNA. qRT-PCR analyses of AZGP1 mRNA in 22RV1 cells treated with negative control (NC) or AZGP1 siRNA (siRNA1, siRNA2, and siRNA3). D Transwell assays assessed cell migration and invasion in 22RV1 cells upon AZGP1 knockdown. E Transwell assays assessed cell migration and invasion in PC3 cells upon AZGP1 overexpression. F , G Wound healing assays evaluated the migration of 22RV1 and PC3 cells. H Western blot analysis of the protein levels of N-cadherin, E-cadherin, VEGFA, MMP7, and AZGP1 after AZGP1 was overexpressed in PC3 cells and was knocked down in 22RV1 cells. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001
Article Snippet: The cell lines used in the experiment included the PCa cell lines PC3, DU145, LNCaP, 22RV1, and RM-1, which were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
