Figure 4From: RNA interference suppression of mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) reduces the adhesive and invasive capacity of human pancreatic cancer cellsEffect of MUC5AC suppression on cell invasion. (A) Cell invasion through membrane filter coated with Matrigel was examined. 72 h later, invading cancer cells were stained by hematoxylin and counted under a microscope. A phase contrast photograph of SW-1990 shows the representative adhering cells to the well coated in finbonectin (arrows). Scale bar, 50 μm. (B) The number of invading si-SW1990 and si-BxPC3 was significantly lower compared to parental cells. Data shown are means ± SD. ***; P < 0.001.Back to article page
