miR-203a inhibits cells invasion and angiogenesis through HOXD3. (A) The invasion viability of SMMC-7721 cells and Hep3B was determined using the Transwell invasion assay, quantitative analysis of the invasion rates by solubilization of crystal violet and spectrophotometric reading at OD 490 nm. (B) Wound-healing assays of HCCs after treatment with si-ctrl and si-HOXD3. Representative images were captured at 0 and 48 h after transfection of si-ctrl and si-HOXD3. (C) Angiogenesis assay in HUVECs transfected with si-HOXD3 and its control. (D) The expression of VEGFR and downstream genes E-cadherin N-cadherin, MMP9 and by using western blot. β-actin as an internal control was detect (**P < 0.01, Student’s t test).
