BMP2 knockdown suppresses SCC9 cell migration and invasion, whereas its overexpression enhances these oncogenic properties. A Post-transfection wound healing assay assessing OSCC cell migration capacity. B Quantitative assessment of migratory potential through Transwell migration assays following transfection. C Matrigel-coated Transwell invasion assays with quantitative analysis of invasive capability post-transfection. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001

Flow cytometric quantification of Annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining demonstrated augmented apoptotic cell fractions in BMP2-knockdown populations (si-BMP2 vs si-NC controls), with conversely attenuated apoptosis observed in BMP2-overexpressing cohorts (OE vs vector controls). Representative density plots illustrate distinct quadrant distributions corresponding to viable (Annexin V−/PI−), early apoptotic (Annexin V⁺/PI−), and late apoptotic (Annexin V⁺/PI⁺) cellular states. *p < 0.05
