Dock5 regulates keratinocyte migration, proliferation, and adhesion. Keratinocytes were transfected with Dock5-specific siRNA (Si-Dock5) or overexpression plasmid (Oe-Dock5). A: The transfection efficiency of overexpression and knockdown is presented. B: Live cell images were acquired 16 h after scratching in a wound-healing assay via a live cell imaging system. C: Wound recovery rate was quantified. D: Cell migration trajectory was tracked for 2 h at 8–10 h after scratching. The center indicates the start point, and magenta dots indicate end points. Each line shows the trajectory of a randomly chosen cell (left [L], right [R], forward [F], or opposite [O] of the direction of migration). E: Cell proliferation was assessed by Cell Counting Kit 8 assay. F: Cell adhesion was quantified using the CyQUANT Assay Kit. n = 3 for A–C and F, n = 65–75 for D, and n = 5 mice per group for E. Data are presented as means ± SEMs. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001. OD, optical density.
