Effects of transfection with CEACAM1-4L/4S on invasion, lumen formation and tumor growth. Control; CEACAM1 vector control transfected NUGC3 (undifferebtiated type) and MKN7 (differentiated type) cells. Long; CEACAM1-4L transfected NUGC3 cells.Short; CEACAM1-4S transfected NUGC3 cells, shRNA; shRNA targeted to CEACAM1 transfected MKN7 cells. (A) RT-PCR analysis of NUGC3 cells with transfected vector control, CEACAM1-4L, CEACAN1-4S, and of MKN7 cells with transfected shRNA targeted to CEACAM. (B) In vitro invasion assay using Matrigel invasion chanbers. (C) Representative images of gastric cancer lumen formation in Matrigel 3D culture. a: no lumen formation, NUGC3 cells; b: lumen formation, NUGC3 cells; c: no lumen formation, MKN7 cells; d: lumen formation, MKN7cells. (D) Lumen formation in NUGC3 and MKN7 cells in 3D culture. n.s.; not significance. (E) In vivo, the subcutaneous tumor model with NOD/SCID mice. n.s.; not significance.
