Figure 4. The silencing of PRR11 expression inhibited the migration and decreased the EMT of ccRCC cells.
(A–D) Transwell migration assays were used to evaluate the migration of PRR11 knockdown and PRR11-overexpressing ccRCC cells, and the relative number of migrated cells was statistically analyzed (n = 3). Scale bar: 150 μm. (E–L) Wound healing assays were used to evaluate the migration of PRR11 knockdown and PRR11-overexpressing ccRCC cells, and the relative number of migrated cells was statistically analyzed (n = 3). Scale bar: 150 μm. (M and N) Western blotting analysis of EMT-related protein expression in PRR11-silenced or PRR11-overexpressing ccRCC cells (n = 3). The data are shown as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test (B, F, and J) and 2-tailed t test (D, H, and L) analyses were performed. NS, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. PRR11, proline rich 11; EMT, epithelial-mesenchymal transition; ccRCC, clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
