Effect of CFH knockdown on the function of RA FLS. RA FLSs were transfected with siRNAs for EIF3C (siEIF3C) or control siRNA (siCtrl) for 72 h and then stimulated with TNF-α(50 ng/ml) + CFH (5 μg/ml) for 24 h (n = 4–8). A Effect of EIF3C knockdown on the migration of RA FLSs was measured with the wound-healing assay. The relative migration rates were calculated by the percentage by which the original scratch area decreased and then normalized to that in the control group. B Effect of EIF3C knockdown on the invasion of RA FLSs using Transwell assay. The relative invasion rates were calculated by counting invaded cells and then normalized to that in the control group. Representative images (original magnification, × 200) are shown. C Effect of EIF3C knockdown on the inflammatory mediators of RA FLSs detected by ELISA. Data show the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
