Exogenous expression of homeobox B9 (HOXB9) enhances the invasive and migration ability of colon cancer cells. (A) The expression of HOXB9 mRNA in MOCK, pcDNA-vector and pcDNA-HOXB9 groups were detected by qRT-PCR (*, P<0.05); (B) The expression of HOXB9 protein in MOCK, pcDNA-vector and pcDNA-HOXB9 groups were detected by Western blotting; (C) Wound healing assay. pcDNA-HOXB9 cells showed increased migration ability relative to the MOCK control and pcDNA-vector at both the 24- and 36-h time points; (D) Representative images of transwell invasion assays in LoVo and SW620 cells after exogenous HOXB9 expression (*, P<0.05); (E) Representative images of transwell migration assays in LoVo and SW620 cells after exogenous HOXB9 expression (*, P<0.05).
