Fig. 2. Effects of E2 on cell migration and invasion in T98G and U87 cell lines.

Fig. 2

Estrogen (E2) significantly increased the T98G cell migration (a, b) and U87 cell invasion capacity (c, d) in a concentration-dependent manner, as tested by wound scratch assay and transwell assay, respectively. Both T98G and U87 are glioblastoma cell lines. e RT-qPCR showed that E2 decreased the mRNA levels, and (f) western blotting showed decreased protein levels of AQP2 compared to the control. Overexpression of AQP2 decreased cell invasion, which was attenuated by E2 (g, h). Three independent experiments were repeated. **P < 0.01 vs. control; *, #P < 0.05 vs. control
