Figure 3. KLF8 promotes cell migration and invasion towards CXCL12.

Figure 3

(A, B) Overexpression of KLF8 increases migration and invasion towards CXCL12. The 10A-ik8 cells grown under U or I conditions were subject to Boyden chamber migration Assay (a) or Matrigel invasion assay (b). (C, D) Knockdown of KLF8 inhibits CXCR4-dependent migration and invasion towards CXCL12. The 231-K8ikd cells grown under U or I conditions with or without overexpression of CXCR4 (WT) or its ligand-binding defective mutant (dN20) were subject to Boyden chamber migration Assay (c) or Matrigel invasion assay (d). No detectable migration or invasion was observed towards serum-free medium in the absence of CXCL12. Inset, ectopic expression of CXCR4 and the dN20 mutant were verified by anti-HA western blotting.
