miR-203a rescues HOXD3 induced cellular invasion and angiogenesis in HCCs. (A) SMMC-7721 and Hep3Bcells invasion was verified by Transwell assay. Quantitative analysis of the invasion rates by solubilization of crystal violet and spectrophotometric reading at OD 490 nm. (B) The wound-healing assay was performed to determine the immetastasis of HCCs. (C) Tube formation assay in HUVECs transfected with ASO-NC and ASO-miR-203a. (D) The expression of VEGFR, EMT marker genes E-cadherin, N-cadherin and MMP9 were assayed by western blot analysis. β-actin was also detected as an internal control (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, Student’s t test).
