Knockdown of UBAP2L retarded the ability of cell migration and invasion and angiogenic formation in HCC. (A) Transwell migration and invasion assays. Representative photographs (right) and quantification (left) are shown (Crystal violet stain, ×100). (B) Wound-healing assay. UBAP2L knockdown reduced the migration ability of SMMC-7721 cells. (C) Tube formation assay. UBAP2L knockdown decreased tube formation in SMMC-7721 cells; NC – cells infected with non-targeting shRNA lentivirus, shUBAP2L – cells infected with UBAP2L-targeting shRNA. Data are shown as means ±SD, *** P<0.001.
