(A–C) The effect of X-ray irradiation on the migration and invasion of A549 cells in vitro. A549 cells treated with 10 Gy X-rays, shNRP1 and shNRP1 + 10 Gy X-rays were allowed to migrate on the Transwell inserts for 12 hrs, and A549 cells without X-ray irradiation acted as the control group. The cells which invaded and migrated to the lower side of the filter were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with Giemsa solution. The number of cells that passed through the pores into the lower chamber was counted under a phase-contrast microscope. (D) Microvessel density (MVD) of xenograft tumours in the knockdown (KD), negative control (NC) (magnification, ×200). NRP1 silencing led to a significant decrease in MVD in the KD group.
