Knockdown of TMED2/3/4/9 remarkably inhibited the migration and invasion of breast cancer in vitro. (A) The relative expressions of TMED2/3/4/9 in different breast cancer lines (B) The efficiency of siRNA transfection was validated by western blot assay. The protein levels of TMED2/3/4/9 were remarkably down-regulated in both MDA-MB-231 and HCC1937 cell lines. (C) The migration capabilities of MDA-MB-231 and HCC1937 cells after siRNA transfection were determined by wound healing assay. (D) Cell migration abilities of MDA-MB-231 and HCC1937 cells transfected siRNAs were evaluated by transwell invasion assays. The invading cells on the basal side of the chambers were dyed with 0.1% crystal violet. Each experiment was repeated at least 3 times independently with the similar results. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001.
