Overexpression of βArr1 or βArr2 and decreased cell invasion in MDA-MB-468. The invasion was significantly reduced in βArr1- or βArr2-cDNA transfected MDA-MB-468 cells. (A) Invasion of C (control-cDNA)-, βArr1- or βArr2-cDNA transfected MDA-MB-468 cells was monitored continuously using an xCelligence Real-Time Cell Analyzer in Matrigel coated CIM-plates. The cells were seeded in the upper chamber of the plates and cell invasion dependent changes in impedance were recorded at 40 h. Y axis shows changes in impedance as a measurement of extent of cell invasion. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean; n = 4–5; * = p < 0.05 versus C-cDNA. (B) The expression profiles of selected motility and invasion related genes were determined by qRT-PCR experiments and expression of TGFβ2, HER3, IGF1R was significantly downregulated in βArr1-cDNA transfected MDA-MB-468 cells. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (*p < 0.05 versus C-cDNA). (C) In MDA-MB-468, transfection of βArr1 or βArr2-cDNA significantly increased their expression in protein levels, decreased IGF-1R and Snail expression but did not change Cadherin and Vimentin expression.
