Fig. 5. Knockdown of PLAU potentiates the inhibition of breast cancer induced by PSMC2 knockdown.
A The effects of shPLAU or shPSMC2+shPLAU on cell proliferation were evaluated by celigo cell counting assay. B Colony formation assay was used to evaluate the effects of shPLAU or shPSMC2+shPLAU on colony formation ability of breast cancer cells. (C) The influence of shPLAU or shPSMC2+shPLAU on cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry. D, E The impact of shPLAU or shPSMC2+shPLAU on cell migration was determined by wound-healing assay (D) and transwell assay (E), respectively. Data were shown as mean ± SD (n ≥ 3). ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
