Fig. 4: USP3 upregulates COL9A3 and COL6A5 to promote GC cells EMT, invasion and migration in vitro.

COL9A3 or COL6A5 was introduced into the USP3 shRNA-transduced AGS and BGC-823 cells. A, B E-cadherin and Vimentin were analysed by western blot and immunofluorescence. Scale bars, 20 μm. C, D GC cell invasion and migration assays were performed.
