The invasion of U2-OS cells detected by Transwell assay and Western blot. (A) Invasion cells under a microscope (bar =200 μm, ×20); (B) the number of invasion cells; (C) protein brands of Western blot; (D) relative expression of MMP-7 and MMP-9 at protein level (Western blot). si-ERβ, U2-OS cells transfected with siRNA-ERβ for 48 hrs; NC-ERβ, U2-OS cells transfected with siRNA-negative control-ERβ for 48 hrs; si-ERβ + FH535, U2-OS cells transfected with siRNA-ERβ and treated with 20 μmol/L FH535 for 48 hrs; blank, U2-OS cells without transfection and treatment. ***P<0.001.

Abbreviations: ERβ, estrogen receptor β; OS, ostemsarcoma; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase; NC, negative control; si, small interfering RNA.
