Fig. 3. NAT10 enhances the migration, invasion, and cell cycle arrest of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in ERS state.
After 24 h of TM (3 μmmol/L) induction, after siRNA-NAT10 or Remodelin treatment, the migration and invasion of Huh-7 (A) and Hep3B cells (B) were analyzed by transwell, scale = 200 μm. C Similarly, the migration of Huh-7 and Hep3B cells was analyzed by wound healing assay (scale = 100 μm). The effect of siRNA-NAT10 (D) and its inhibitor Remodelin (E) on cell cycle arrest (n = 3) was analyzed by flow cytometry. Huh-7 and hep3B cells were treated with different concentrations of Remodelin for 48 h to conduct cell cycle arrest assay. F Western blot showed the protein levels of CDK2, CyclinA, PCNA, and other related cell cycle genes in Huh-7 and hep3B cells after NAT10 knockdown or inhibition. All cells were induced by TM 24 h in advance, and each experiment was conducted in three times. Data were shown as mean ± standard deviation. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
