Aiolos overexpression upregulates Twist and MMP16 expression. (A) Western blot analysis of Twist, Snail, Slug, and MMP16 expression in H1299-Aiolos vs H1299-Mock cells and in A549-Aiolos vs A549-Mock cells. Actin was used as a loading control. (B) Western blot analysis of Aiolos, Twist, E-cadherin, vimentin, and MMP16 in H1299-Aiolos-Scramble and H1299-Aiolos-Twisti clones and in A549-Aiolos-Scramble and A549-Aiolos-Twisti clones. Actin was used as a loading control. (C) Immuofluorescence staining of E-cadherin and vimentin in H1299-Aiolos-Scramble vs H1299-Aiolos-Twisti cells. The green and red signals represented the staining of E-cadherin and vimentin, respectively. The blue signal represented nuclear DNA staining by Hoechst 33342. (D) The number of H1299-Aiolos-Scrabmle vs H1299-Aiolos-Twisti cells that migrated across the membrane or invaded across the matrigel counted per high power field. Asterisk indicates P < 0.05, compared with control cells (Student’s t-test). (E) The number of A549-Aiolos-Scrabmle vs A549-Aiolos-Twisti cells that migrated across the membrane or invaded across the matrigel counted per high power field. Asterisk indicates P < 0.05, compared with control cells (Student’s t-test).
