Fig. 1. Prohibitin expression in pancreatic cancer cell lines, proliferative, migratory and invasive ability was significant reduced after siRNA-Phb transfection in AsPC-1 and MiaPaCa-2 cells.

a Prohibitin mRNA and protein expression were generally expressed in 8 pancreatic cancer cell lines with Real-Time PCR and western blot. AsPC-1 and MiaPaCa-2 cells were selected for further functional experiments due to their various PHB expression. β-actin was used as housekeeping. GAPDH was used as a loading control. b AsPC-1 and MiaPaCa-2 cells were transfected with control siRNA or PHB siRNA for 48 h, total proteins were extracted and western blotting analysis was performed, 59.6% and 87.1% PHB proteins were reduced, respectively. c The effects of siRNA-PHB on pancreatic cancer cells AsPC-1 and MiaPaCa-2, the growth after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were assessed using CCK-8 assay (mean ± SD; *p < 0.05). d The migration of AsPC-1 and MiaPaCa-2 cells were assessed after siRNA-PHB transfection and compared with negative control transfected cells (mean ± SD; **p < 0.01). e The invasiveness of AsPC-1 and MiaPaCa-2 cells were assessed after siRNA-PHB transfection and compared with negative control transfected cells (mean ± SD; **p < 0.01)
