siRNA-mediated knockdown of SLC25A21 promotes BCa cell proliferation, migration and invasion, and represses cell apoptosis in vitro. (A, B) Depletion of SLC25A21 after transient transfection of siRNA targeting SLC25A21 was confirmed in two BCa cell lines by real-time RT-PCR (A) and western blotting (B). (C, D) The effects of SLC25A21 downregulation on BCa cell proliferation by CCK-8 (C) and colony formation assays (D). (E) The effects of SLC25A21 depletion on cell apoptosis (E) by flow cytometry. (F) The effects of SLC25A21 depletion on the migration ability of BCa cells by using a wound healing assay. (G) Invasion assays were used to determine the effects of SLC25A21 depletion on the invasion ability of BCa cells. Representative images (left) and quantitative analyses (right) are shown. Data are expressed as the means ± SD of three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, and ****P < 0.0001.
