Figure 3. CAS is essential for invasion of HCC cells in vitro.

(A) HLE and (B) HLF cells were treated as described before and invasion through a matrigel coated membrane was analyzed 48 h after transfection. Invaded cells were stained with crystal-violet (right panel) and quantified (left panel). Data are normalized to the ctrl condition and represented as mean of three (A) or two (B) biological replicates ± standard deviation. scale bars = 100 μm.
