Depletion of SPANXB1 promoted progression of TNBC cells in vitro. Silencing of SPANXB1 (A) reduced migration ((B) low distribution of migrated cells in encircled area), invasion (C) and ROS production (D) by TNBC cells accompanied by enhanced expression of SH3GL2 and decreased expression of FAK, A-Actinin, Vinculin and RAC-1 (A). Mesenchymal to epithelial transition of SPANXB1 depleted TNBC cells ((E) arrows) accompanied by augmented expression of CDH1 and ZO-1 and decreased expression of Snail and Slug in TNBC lines (F). CSi: Control SiRNA; KD: SPANXB1-SiRNA treated. Actin was used as a loading control (A,F). Magnification X 200 (BE). In Western blotting, all experimental and control antibodies were run in parallel for the same immunoblot. The Image J software (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/) was used for Western blot quantification and area measurement in the migration assays.
