Figure 7

Effect of si ITGα 5 on PN-induced proliferation and invasion of CCA cells. Lipofectamine-treated cells (mock) had nearly the same viability as siITGα5-treated cells (A). KKU-M213 and KKU-M156 showed dramatically decreased expression of ITGα5 detected by real time RT-PCR after exposure to siITGα5 (B). Percentage of proliferation and invasion compared to control mock cells is shown. The siITGα5-treated cells (negative ITGα5) could not respond to PN in induction of proliferation as much as that detected in cells without exposure to siITGα5 (positive ITGα5) (C). A similar effect was observed in PN-induced invasion of CCA cell lines (D). Results represent mean ± SD of three independent experiments and an asterix represents significantly increased cell proliferation and invasion by PN compared to mock cells without PN treatment.
