Figure 5. Impact of GRP78 on the invasion and migration of the PDAC cell lines.
(A) The invasion and migration of the SU.86.86 cells were decreased after GRP78 knockdown compared to the NC group (*p < 0.01). (B) The invasion and migration of the BXPC-3 cells were decreased after GRP78 knockdown compared to the NC group. (C) The invasion and migration of the Capan-1 cells were increased after the forced overexpression of GRP78 compared to the NC group (*p < 0.01, original magnification, 100×). (D) The levels of RhoA, ROCK1, JAK2, vimentin, Smad4, and p-STAT3 were decreased by GRP78 knockdown and increased by GRP78 overexpression in the SU86.86, BXPC-3 and Capan-1 cell lines (*p < 0.05). siRNA, siRNA-GRP78; OE-GRP78, overexpression of GRP78; NC, negative control. Cropped blots/gels were used in the figure and the gels had been run under the same experimental conditions; the full-length blots/gels are presented in Supplementary Figure S5.
