Fig. 2. CCT8 promotes CRC cell migration in vitro and metastasis in vivo.

Fig. 2

A CCT8 overexpressed lentivirus and three CCT8 siRNA were successfully constructed to study the effects of CCT8 in CRC cells. B The subcellular localization of CCT8 in CRC cells lines was assessed by immuno-fluorescence. C, D Representative figures of Transwell assays indicate the stimulatory role of CCT8 on CRC migration. Bars on the right panel represent the number of invaded cells (n = 3, P < 0.05). E, F Representative figures of the wound-sealing assays indicate that CCT8 could stimulate CRC cell migration. Bars on the right represent the migration distance of wound-healing assay (n = 3, P < 0.05). G, H Caeca orthotopic transplantation assay indicates the stimulatory role of CCT8 on hepatic metastasis (n = 5). The representative colon and liver samples are displayed and the HE staining of the representative tumors was placed on the middle panel, showing the boundaries between tumor and normal tissues. Bars of the right panel represented the volume of tumor in situ and number of metastatic nodules in liver respectively.
