Fig. 4

A Wound-healing assay was performed to evaluate the effect of RNF141 overexpression on cell migration at 48 h after scratching (0 h). The percentage of wound closure was calculated as: (area of original wound-area of actual wound) / area of original wound × 100%. Scale bar, 500 μm. B, C Representative photos of the transwell assay showed the migrated and invasive cells of HCT116, SW480, DLD-1, and HT29 transfected with indicated lentivirus. Scale bar, 100 μm. D Tube formation assay was conducted in vitro using HUVEC cells. LV-sh-NC or LV-sh-RNF141 transfected HCT116, SW480, DLD-1, and HT29 cells were cultured in serum-free media for 24 h, and then conditioned media were collected. HUVEC cells were incubated in conditioned media for 12 h and then tube formation was photoed. Scale bar, 1 mm. Data represented the mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments, ***P < 0.001 vs indicated groups.
