Overexpression of SLC6A13 inhibits the proliferation, invasion, and migration of HCC cells. (A and B) qRT-PCR and WB detected the expression of SLC6A13 in normal and HCC cell lines; (C and D) qRT-PCR and WB detected the overexpression efficiency of SLC6A13 in HCC cell lines (SNU-387 and MHCC-97H); (E and F) CCK-8 detected cell proliferation in HCC cell lines (SNU-387 and MHCC-97H) overexpressing SLC6A13; (G and H) Transwell assay detected cell invasion and migration of overexpressed SLC6A13 in HCC cell lines (SNU-387 and MHCC-97H). The scale bar is 50 µm. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001. HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; WB: Western blotting; CCK-8: Cell-counting kit-8; qRT-PCR: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; SLC6A13: Solute carrier family 6 member 13.
