Fig. 5. SATB-1 enhanced the migration and invasion abilities of pancreatic cancer cells.
a Wound-healing assay shows the abilities of SW1990 and PANC-1 cells with SATB-1 silenced or co-cultured. b The transwell assay shows the fractions of migrated and invaded SW1990 and PANC-1 cells with SATB-1 silenced or co-cultured. Knockdown of SATB-1 inhibited the migration and invasion abilities of PANC-1 and SW1990 cells. Coculturing with CAFs enhanced the migration and invasion abilities of PANC-1 and SW1990 cells, but neutralization with anti-SDF-1 antibody reduced these abilities. Compared with control pancreatic cancer cells, n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. c Wound-healing and transwell assays show the upregulated migration and invasion abilities of Capan-2 and BXPC-3 cells transfected with pcDNA3.1-SATB-1. Compared with control pancreatic cancer cells, n = 3, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001
