A MRE11 knockdown decreased, while its overexpression increased, wound closure in oral cancer cells. B MRE11 knockdown decreased, while its overexpression increased, transwell migration in oral cancer cells. C MRE11 knockdown decreased, while its overexpression increased, transwell invasion in oral cancer cells. D MRE11 knockdown decreased, while its overexpression increased, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in oral cancer cells. E Mirin, a MRE11 nuclease inhibitor, increased the expression of γH2AX, an indicator of DSB, in oral cancer cells upon ionizing radiation exposure. F Mirin treatment did not inhibit the proliferation-promoting activity of MRE11 in oral cancer cells. G Mirin treatment did not inhibit the migration-promoting activity of MRE11 in oral cancer cells. H Nuclease-deficient MRE11 with H129N mutation showed proliferation-promoting activity. I Nuclease-deficient MRE11 with H129N mutation showed migration-promoting activity.
