Figure 2From: Aquaporin-3 positively regulates matrix metalloproteinases via PI3K/AKT signal pathway in human gastric carcinoma SGC7901 cellsAQP3 regulated MMPs expression in SGC7901 cells. AQP3 silence down-regulated MMPs expression in SGC7901 cells. AQP3 regulated MMPs expression in SGC7901 cells. AQP3 silence down-regulated MMPs expression in SGC7901 cells. A significant decrease in MT1-MMP, MMP-2, MMP-9 expression was observed in AQP3 knockdown group compared with control group.* p < 0.05 BLANK control SGC7901 cells NC cells treated with scrambled shRNA aqp3shRNA cells treated with aqp3shRNABack to article page
