Fig. 4. CCL3 is upregulated in ccRCC and promotes ccRCC metastasis.

a Expression of CCL3 in ccRCC and normal patients based on analysis of TCGA data. b RT-qPCR analysis of CCL3 expression in 45 paired ccRCC and adjacent normal samples from patients recruited from the SRRSH cohort. c correlation analysis showed that piR-57125 was negatively correlated with CCL3 expression in ccRCC patients from the SRRSH cohort. d Western blot analyzed the knockdown efficiency of CCL3 siRNAs. e Transwell assay revealed that knockdown of CCL3 restrained 786-O and OSRC-2 cells metastasis. Data represent mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments. f Wound healing assay demonstrated that knockdown of CCL3 inhibited 786-O and OSRC-2 cells metastatic ability. Data represent mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments. g Transwell assay demonstrated that the metastatic ability of ccRCC cells was inhibited when rhCCL3 was added exogenously (30 ng/ml). Data represent mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments. h Wound healing assay illustrated that exogenously added rhCCL3 (30 mg/ml) promoted 786-O and OSRC-2 cells migration and invasion. Data represent mean ± S.D. from three independent experiments. **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
