AB qRT-PCR showed the inhibitory effect of si-PTOV1-AS1 on EMT in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with TGF-β1. n = 4. C The inhibitory effects of si-PTOV1-AS1 on TGF-β1-induced EMT were detected by Western blot. n = 4. D Immunofluorescence staining of ZO-1 revealed the inhibitory effect of si-PTOV1-AS1 on the EMT process in MDA-MB-231 cells. n = 4. Scale bar, 20 μm. Wound healing assay (E) and Transwell assay (F) showed that silencing PTOV1-AS1 attenuated TGF-β1-induced cell migration and invasion. n = 6. Scale bar, 200 μm in (E) and 100 μm in (F). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. lncRNA long non-coding RNAs, EMT epithelial mesenchymal transition, qRT-PCR real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR.
