siN-BLRs suppressed cell migration and invasion. (A) Wound healing assay was observed by microscopy at 0 and 24 hours. Scale bar refers to 100 μm. (B) Matrigel invasion assay was performed using an invasion chamber after knockdown of N-BLR expression. After treatment with siRNAs, AGS and MKN28 cells were stained with 0.1% coomassie brilliant blue. Scale bar refers to 100 μm. (C) EMT markers were detected by immunoblotting in transfected AGS and MKN28 cells. (D) The influence of transient transfection with siN-BLR on the miR-200 family. MiR-200c-3p was increased in both N-BLR small interfering RNA (siRNA)-transfected cell lines compared with cells transfect-ed with the scramble control. The data shown in the figures are from three independent experiments and represent the mean±SEM. *p<0.05 and †p<0.01 show a statistically significant difference compared with a scrambled control.
