Knockdown of pre-B-cell leukemia transcription factor 3 (PBX3) promotes apoptosis in melanoma cells. Melanoma A375 and MeWo cells were transfected with negative control siRNA (si-NC) or siRNA against PBX3 (si-PBX3) for 24 hours. (A) Cell apoptosis rates were analyzed. (B) Caspase-3 activity was analyzed. (C) Total lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis with the indicated antibodies. (D) Western blot results were quantitatively analyzed. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n=3). All experiments were performed three times, and representative images are presented. **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
