A Volcano plot of differential genes expression after PLEK2 was stably knockdown in KYSE-30 cells. B The Venn diagram showed number of differential upregulated genes in PLEK2 stably knockdown cells; C The Venn diagram showed number of differential downregulated genes in PLEK2 stably knockdown cells; D The expression of PLEK2 and LCN2 in PLEK2 knockdown KYSE-450 cells on the mRNA level; E The expression of PLEK2 and LCN2 in PLEK2 knockdown KYSE-30 cells on the mRNA level; F The expression of PLEK2 and LCN2 in PLEK2 knockdown KYSE-30 and KYSE-450 tested by western blot. The expression of LCN2 in PLEK2 knockdown cells which treated with TGF-β on the mRNA level; G The migration and invasion ability of PLEK2 knockdown cells with or without LCN2 overexpression; H Overexpression of LCN2 in PLEK2 knockdown cells and its efficiencies were detected on the mRNA level; I Qualification of number of cells that migrated through the membrane or invaded through the membrane; J Western blot analysis of PLEK2 Claudin-1, AKT, p-AKT, and LCN2. Tubulin was used as loading control; K The expression of LCN2 in PLEK2 knockdown KYSE-30 which treated with TGF-β on the mRNA level; L The expression of LCN2 in PLEK2 knockdown KYSE-450 which treated with TGF-β on the mRNA level; *P < 0.01; ***P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
