Figure 5. FOXP4 functions as an oncogene in medulloblastoma cells. A Comparison of the expression levels of FOXP4 in tumor samples from medulloblastoma (MB) patients and those in adjacent normal tissues as determined by qPCR (MB = 25, control = 15). B The knockdown of FOXP4 in Daoy cells using siRNAs; siFOXP4-1001 was selected for use in subsequent experiments. C, D The knockdown of FOXP4 inhibited cell proliferation and clonogenicity in Daoy cells. E Wound-healing assay showing that knockdown of FOXP4 using siFOXP4-1001 inhibited cell migration into wound areas. Scale bar indicates 100 µm. F, G Transwell assays showing that the knockdown of FOXP4 decreased cell migration and invasion. Scale bar indicates 100 µm. H The knockdown of FOXP4 promoted cell apoptosis, as determined by flow cytometry. Data are presented as means ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
