DSE modulates CCL5-induced malignant phenotypes in HCC cells. (A) Overexpression of DSE decreases CCL5-induced cell viability in Hepa1-6 cells. (B) Knockdown of DSE enhances CCL5-triggered cell viability in HA22T cells. Cells were culture with 5% FBS with or without CCL5 for indicated duration. Cell viability was determined using a CCK-8 assay. Fold changes of 450 nm absorbance were shown. Data is represented as the means ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. (C and D) DSE regulates CCL5-induced migration and invasion of HCC cells. Mock and DSE overexpressed hepa1-6 cells (C), and control-siRNA (Ctr si) as well as DSE-siRNA (DSE si) cells (D) were subjected to transwell migration assay and Matrigel invasion assay. Representative images are shown at left. Statistic results are represented as means ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
