Role of ARPC5 inhibition on migration, invasion, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of HCC cells. (A–D) Migration ability was assessed by scratch wound healing assay, representative images (A, B) were shown (original magnification, ×200; scale bars, 50 µm), and wound healing areas were calculated (C, D). (E, F) Transwell assay was applied to examine the invasion ability, representative images (F) were shown (original magnification, ×200; scale bars, 50 µm), and the histogram showed the number of invasion cells (E). (G) Western blot showed the changes of EMT proteins in HCC-LM3 and MHCC97-H cells transfected with si-ARPC5#1. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
