HDGF expression knockdown decreases cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. Stable downregulation of HDGF reduced the in vitro migration ability of Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells (A). The wound healing assay indicated that shHDGF transfection into Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells for 48 h impaired migration capacity compared with the negative control group (B). Stable suppression of HDGF reduced the in vitro invasiveness of shHDGF-Ishikawa and shHDGF-RL95-2 cells (C). In vivo intrahepatic metastasis assay results after shHDGF-Ishikawa and PLV-Ctr-Ishikawa injection: PLV-Ctr-EC cells were more easily transferred to intestinal tissue (D). The HE (E) and IHC (F) of the metastatic intestinal tissues. Original magnification 200×. The numbers of metastatic tumors (G). Data are presented as the mean ± SD for three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, statistically significant difference.
