STAT3 phosphorylation mediated the promotive role of STX6 in HCC progression. ( A ) Protein levels and quantification results of total and phosphorylated STAT3 in control and Huh7 STX6-OE cells treated with p-STAT3 inhibitor or DMSO. β-actin served as the loading control. ( B ) The representative images and quantification results of control and Huh7 STX6-OE cells treated with p-STAT3 inhibitor or DMSO in colony formation assays. n = 3 per group. ( C ) The representative images and quantification results of control cells and Huh7 STX6-OE cells treated with p-STAT3 inhibitor or DMSO in Transwell migration assays. n = 6 per group. ( D ) Protein levels and quantification results of PCNA, cyclin D1, E-cadherin and N-cadherin in control and Huh7 STX6-OE cells treated with p-STAT3 inhibitor or DMSO. n = 6 per group. β-actin served as the loading control. Data was given as mean ± SD. For statistical analysis, the two-tailed Student’s t -test was used in A - D . n.s. indicates no significant difference; * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01
