Fig. 5. ZFPM2-AS1 promoted cell metastatic properties by affecting EMT in HCC cells.
A, B The migration abilities were evaluated in HCC cells infected with sh-ZFPM2-AS1-1 or sh-ZFPM2-AS1-2 lentivirus, by wound-healing assays. Scale bar = 50 μm. C Transwell assays detected the invasion capacities of HCC cells after ZFPM2-AS1-2 depletion. Scale bar = 50 μm. D Western blot examined the protein levels of N-cadherin and vimentin in HCC cells. Data are presented as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
