Article Title: Pan-cancer analysis of the carcinogenic role of WSB2 in human tumors
doi: 10.3892/mmr.2025.13625
Figure Lengend Snippet: WSB2 promotes the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells. (A) Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and (B) western blotting were used to detect the effect of WSB2 overexpression in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. (C) Viability of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells was evaluated using a CCK-8 assay. (D) Representative images and (E) the quantification of the number of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells in the S phase evaluated using an 5 ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine assay. (F) Representative images of colony formation ability of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7cells. (G) Representative images and (H) quantification of wound healing and (I) colony formation ability of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7cells. (J) Transwell assays to determine the migration ability of MDA-MB-231and MCF-7cells. (K) ERK1/2, p53 and PCNA and (L) Snail, E-cadherin and Vimentin protein levels in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were detected using western blotting. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. WSB2, WD repeat and SOCS box containing 2.
