Effect of USP19 on cell invasion and migration and MMP2/MMP9 enzyme activity. (A) Knockdown of USP19 reduced SGC7901 cell invasion. Images were acquired at the indicated time (200× magnification). Data are shown as Mean±SD (n=5). **P<0.01. (B) Knockdown of USP19 reduced the migration of SGC7901 cells, as determined by wound healing assay at 0, 12, 24, and 36 h. Images were acquired at the indicated time (100× magnification). Data are shown as Mean±SD (n=3). **P<0.01. (C) SGC7901 cells were transfected with ShUSP19 or vector for 36 h and then subjected to gelatin zymography to analyze the activity of MMP2 and MMP9. (D) Ectopic expression of USP19 enhanced invasion of GES1 cells. Images were acquired at the indicated time (200× magnification). Data are shown as Mean±SD (n=5). **P<0.01. (E) Ectopic expression of USP19 increased the migration of GES1 cells, as determined by wound healing assay at 0, 12, 24, and 36 h. Images were acquired at the indicated time (100× magnification). Data are shown as Mean±SD (n=3). **P<0.01. (F) GES1 cells were transfected with USP19-overexpressing plasmid or control vector for 36 h and then subjected to gelatin zymography to analyze the activity of MMP2 and MMP9.
