doi: 10.3389/fonc.2019.01423
Figure Lengend Snippet: PELP1 knowdown inhibited proliferation, migration and invasion, xenograft of gastric cancer cell. (A) The absorbance (OD) at 450 nm wave-length was reduced in PELP1 knockdown group in CCK-8 assays. PELP1 silencing inhibited the colony formation ability of AGS (B1) and SNU-1 (B2) . (B3) Representative image for colony formation. (C1,C2) Representative image of the EdU assay confirmed that mean density was reduced in PELP1 knockdown group. (D) PELP1 knowdown prevented the cell progression from S phase into M phase in cell cycle arrest. The data represent results from one of three independent experiments. (E1,E2) Wound healing assay was used to detect the change of migration of cells. The migration ability of AGS was reduced in PELP1 knockdown group. Transwell small chamber assay was used to detect the change of migration and invasion of GC cells. (F1,F2) The migration and invasion ability of AGS was reduced in PELP1 knockdown group. (F3,F4) The migration and invasion ability of SNU-1 was reduced in PELP1-siRNA group. (G) PELP1 silencing inhibited the growth of xenograft in AGS cell inoculated nue mice. Experiments were repeated 3 or 4 times. Values are the mean ± SEM (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001).
Article Snippet: Immunohistochemical staining using a polyclonal antibody against PELP1 (A13414, 1:100 for IHC analysis, ABclonal) was performed.
