Figure 5. LOX-1 promotes migration, invasion and EMT in gastric cancer cells.

Figure 5

(a) The expression of LOX-1 in various gastric cancer cell lines were detected by western blotting. (b) The expression of LOX-1 in MGC80-3 cells transfected with vector or LOX-1 overexpressing plasmid (Left panel) and AGS cells stably expressing LOX-1-specific shRNA (Right panel) were detected by western blotting. (c) Transwell migration and matrigel invasion assays were conducted in MGC80-3 cells transfected with vector or LOX-1. Data are mean ± SD. (d) Transwell migration and matrigel invasion assays were conducted in AGS cells stably expressed control shRNA (shCT) or two LOX-1-specific shRNA (sh1/sh2). Data are mean ± SD. (e,f) The expression of epithelial markers ZO-1 and E-cadherin, mesenchymal marker Vimentin and transcriptional repressors Snail and Twist were detected by western blotting in LOX-1-overexpressing MGC80-3 cells (e) and LOX-1-knock-down AGS cells (f).
