O-GlcNAcylation of YTHDF2 promotes hepatoma cell proliferation, invasion and migration in vitro and in vivo. Cells were transfected with YTHDF2 shRNA lentiviral vector to induce endogenous YTHDF2 knockdown, and subsequently infected with adenoviruses expressing Flag-YTHDF2 (WT or S263A). All hepatoma cells were infected with AdHBV1.3. ac Proliferation ability of HepG2-HBV1.3 cells (a), Huh7-HBV1.3 cells (b) and PLC/PRF/5-HBV1.3 cells (c) was detected by CCK-8 assay as indicated (n = 3, performed in triplicate). d, e Colony formation capacity of HepG2-HBV1.3 cells (d) and Huh7-HBV1.3 cells (e) treated as indicated (n = 3, performed in triplicate). f, g Cell invasion capacity of Huh7-HBV1.3 cells (f) and PLC/PRF/5-HBV1.3 cells (g) was measured by transwell assay as indicated (n = 3, performed in triplicate, bar = 100 μm). h, i Cell migration capacity of Huh7-HBV1.3 cells (h) and PLC/PRF/5-HBV1.3 cells (i) was measured by wound-healing assay as indicated (n = 3, performed in triplicate, bar = 200 μm). jl MHCC-97H cells were treated as indicated and subcutaneously injected into nude mice (n = 6 per group). j Representative appearance of subcutaneous implantation tumors. k and l Tumor volume (k) and tumor weight (l) of implantation tumors. Data are represented as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
