Formin-like 3 regulates the RhoC/FAK signaling pathway to promote colorectal carcinoma invasion. A and B: Analysis of VEGF, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in FMNL3-overexpressing or -depleted colorectal carcinoma cells by western blot and gelatin zymography experiments, respectively. C and D: Analysis of the effects of FMNL3 overexpression or depletion on the expression of RhoC, (p-)Pyk2, (p-)FAK, (p-)MAPK and (p-)AKT by western blot. E: Effects of Pyk2 silencing on the expression of FMNL3, (p-)FAK, (p-)MAPK and (p-)AKT in FMNL3-expressing cells by western blot. FMNL3: Formin-like 3; VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor; MMP: matrix metalloprotein; Pyk2: Proline rich tyrosine kinase 2; FAK: Focal adhesion kinase; MAPK: Mitogen activated protein kinases; AKT: Protein kinase B.
