Figure Lengend Snippet: TIMP1 overexpression reserves the anti-TC effects of HHT (A) TPC-1 and 8505C cells were transfected with vector or TIMP1 overexpression (oeTIMP1) and then treated with HHT treatment for 48 h. RT-qPCR was performed to analyze the mRNA level of TIMP1. GAPDH was used as the control. (B) Western blotting analysis of the expression of TIMP1, Bax, Bcl2, cleaved caspase-3, E-cadherin, and N-cadherin in TPC-1/oeTIMP1 and 8505C/oeTIMP1 cells with HHT treatment for 48 h. GAPDH was used as the control. (C) and (D) CCK-8 assay was performed to detect cell viability of TPC-1/oeTIMP1 and 8505C/oeTIMP1 cells with HHT treatment for 24, 48, and 72 h. (E) Colony formation assay was used to detect the colony formation ability of TPC-1/oeTIMP1 and 8505C/oeTIMP1 cells with HHT treatment for 14 days. (F) Flow cytometry was performed to measure the effect of HHT on the apoptosis of TPC-1/oeTIMP1 and 8505C/oeTIMP1 cells with HHT treatment for 48 h. (G) and (H) Wound healing assay was performed to detect the cell migration rate. (I) Transwell assay was conducted to measure the cell invasion ability. (J) Western blotting analysis of the expression of FAK, p-FAK, PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT, and p-AKT in TPC-1/oeTIMP1 and 8505C/oeTIMP1 cells with HHT treatment for 48 h. GAPDH was used as the control. Data are presented as mean ± SD. ns, no significance, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001.
