MMP-1 was essential for CAMSAP2-induced migration and invasion in colorectal cancer cells. (A) Western blot analysis showed that MMP-1 was silenced by shRNA against MMP-1 in CAMSAP2-overexpessing SW-620 cells. (B) Wound healing scratch assay showed ectopic expression of MMP-1 attenuated CAMSAP2 shRNA-reduced migration in SW-620 and SW-480 cells. Left: representative images of wound scratch. Right: histograms represent the analysis of the wound healing rate. (C) Transwell migration assay showed overexpression of MMP-1 attenuated the inhibition of CAMSAP2 shRNA on colorectal cancer cell migration. (D) Enforced overexpression of MMP-1 restored the invasion-attenuated by CAMSAP2 shRNAs in colorectal cancer cells. (E) Western blot analysis of MMP-1 expression in CAMSAP2-silenced SW-620 and SW-480 cells transduced with MMP-1 plasmid (MMP-1) or empty vector (Vector). (F) Wound healing assay showed silencing MMP-1 attenuated CAMSAP2-induced migration in colorectal cancer cells. Left: representative images of wound scratch. Right: histograms represent the analysis of the wound healing rate. (G) Transwell migration assay showed knockdown of MMP-1 attenuated the CAMSAP2-induced migration in SW-620 cells. (H) Knockdown of MMP-1 inhibited the colorectal cancer cell invasion induced by CAMSAP2 overexpression. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
