Figure 4. The migration-promoting activity of ASCs is controlled by the Cofilin-1 signaling pathway.

(A) A diagram illustrating the Cofilin-1-dependent pathway, adapted from Wang et al. (Wang et al., 2007). (B) siRNA knockdown of several players of the Cofilin-1 pathway reduced the migration-promoting activity of ASCs. (C) Pre-treatment of ASCs with the specific Rock inhibitor Y27632 reduced the migration-promoting activity of ASC in a dose-dependent manner. All experiments were carried out in triplicate and repeated at least 3 times.
