Article Title: Semaphorin4A promotes lung cancer by activation of NF-κB pathway mediated by PlexinB1
doi: 10.7717/peerj.16292
Figure Lengend Snippet: After stimulation by Sema4A-Fc protein, PlexinB1, PlexinB2, PlexinD1 blocking antibodies, and IgG antibody, alone or in combination, the invasive ability and the viability of LC cells were assessed by Transwell (A) and MTT (B) assays, respectively. Magnification for (B): ×200. @ P <0.05, and @@ P < 0.01 vs. Control; # P < 0.05, and ## P <0.01 vs. IgG; − P < 0.05, and −− P < 0.01 vs. Sema4A-Fc+IgG. Results were presented as mean ± SD. n = 3. Note: Sema4A: semaphorin 4A; LC, lung cancer; MTT: 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide.
