Knockdown of LAMB3 inhibits PDAC cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT, and promotes PDAC cell apoptosis. (A) LAMB3 mRNA expression was evaluated via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR in PANC-1 cells transfected with si-LAMB3. (B) Cell proliferation was analyzed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assays in the Control, si-NC and si-LAMB3 groups. (C) Colony formation assays were performed in the si-NC and si-LAMB3 groups. (D) Transwell invasion and migration assays. (E) EMT-associated proteins E-cadherin and vimentin were examined via WB analysis in the Control, si-NC and si-LAMB3 groups. (F) The percentage of apoptotic cells was shown by flow cytometry in the si-NC and si-LAMB3 groups. *P<0.05, ***P<0.01 vs. si-NC group. PDAC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; EMT, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition; siRNA, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control; LAMB3, laminin subunit β3; WB, western blotting.
