Figure 5. POSTN exhibited its effects on HNC cells by binding an integrin receptor.

Figure 5

(A) The mixture of anti-αv (5 μg/mL) and anti-β3 (5 μg/mL) integrin antibodies partially decreased the POSTN-inducing (100 ng/mL) proliferation of HN13 and Rca-T cells. (B,C) Recombinant human POSTN (100 ng/mL) promoted the migration and invasion of HNC cells (HN13 and Rca-T), while blocking of αv and β3 integrins by integrin antibodies (5 μg/mL of each) inhibited the migration and invasion of HNC cells (HN13 and Rca-T) cultured in DMEM with 100 ng/mL POSTN.
