a The proliferation of HeLa and SiHa cell lines was analyzed using a colony-formation assay after transfection with BAP31 or control siRNA. The results represented the means ± SD of triplicate independent experiments. The scale bars represent 100 μm. b Flow cytometric analysis of the HeLa and SiHa cell cycle distributions with PI at 48 h post transfection with BAP31 or control siRNA. The results are shown as the percentages of cells in G1, S, and G2 phases. *p < 0.05 was considered to be significantly different for the siBAP31 vs siCon group. c Western blotting results for the expression levels of BAP31, Cyclin D1, Cyclin E1, and Cyclin E2 in the control and the BAP31-depleted group of HeLa and SiHa cell lines. d Wound-healing assays were performed to evaluate the migration of HeLa and SiHa cells transfected with BAP31 or control siRNA. The scale bars represent 100 μm. e Transwell invasion assay of HeLa and SiHa cells treated as in (a). The results represent the means ± SD from five microscopic fields. The scale bars represent 100 μm. *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 were considered significantly different for the siBAP31 vs siCon groups
