Silencing BRAF inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of choroidal melanoma cells. A and B, Western blot analysis revealed that the expression of BRAF protein was remarkably downregulated by transfecting si-BRAF-1 and si-BRAF-2. ****P < 0.0001, **P < 0.01. C, D and E, Compared to the NC group, silencing BRAF by 2 siRNAs inhibited cell proliferation. ****P < 0.0001, ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01. F, G and H, After silencing BRAF by 2 siRNAs, the numbers of migrating and invading cells were noticeably decreased. ****P < 0.0001, ***P < 0.001. (si-NC, siRNA negative control).
