Fig. 3: Regulation of CRSP8 on migration, invasion, and apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells.
From: CRSP8 promotes thyroid cancer progression by antagonizing IKKα-induced cell differentiation
A Cell migration and B cell invasion were analyzed in thyroid cancer cells transfected with CRSP8 specific siRNAs or its overexpression plasmids, and the relative rate of migration was calculated, the number of invading cells was counted. C Western blot analysis of the expression of MMP-9, EMT markers (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, β-catenin, Vimentin) in THJ-29T and FTC-133 cells following CRSP8 silencing or overexpression. THJ-21T and THJ-29T cells were treated with CRSP8 specific siRNAs for 48 h, then D FACS analysis and E acridine orange/ethidium bromide fluorescence staining were performed, and the apoptotic cell ratios were counted respectively. F Western blot analysis of the expression of Bcl-2, Bad, Bim, Bax, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved caspase-9 proteins in thyroid cancer cells following CRSP8 knockdown. The data represent the mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments (four independent experiments in 3D), and the level of significance was indicated by ***P < 0.001.
