Overexpression of CREB5 promotes the invasion and metastasis of CRC cells, but inhibition of MET weakens these effects. a and b The invasive and migratory abilities of CRC cells in vitro with different treatments were evaluated by wound-healing assay and transwell migration assay. c HUVEC tube formation after stimulation with the indicated conditional medium. d Representative images of the CAM assay. Histograms show the formation of secondary and tertiary blood vessels after stimulation with the indicated conditional medium. Scale bar: 2 mm. e Orthotopic transplantation with the indicated SW480 cells in nude mice (n = 9 in each group) was conducted, and representative gross images of the livers and intestines are shown. The arrows indicate the tumors. Liver sections were stained by H&E. Scale bar: 50 μm. f The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyse the survival curves of different treatment groups, and the log-rank test was used to compare differences. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001
