Fig. 3: AQP3 promoted the proliferation and migration of HCC cells.

a Knockdown efficacy of AQP3 in Huh7 and MHCC-LM3 cells by western blot analysis. b, c Knockdown of AQP3 suppressed the proliferation and migration in Huh7 and MHCC-LM3 cells determined by CCK-8 assay and transwell assay. d Overexpression efficacy of AQP3 in Huh7 and MHCC-LM3 cells by western blot. e, f AQP3 overexpression promoted the proliferation and migration in Huh7 and MHCC-LM3 cells by CCK-8 assay and transwell assay.
