Figure 6From: Claudin-5 is involved in breast cancer cell motility through the N-WASP and ROCK signalling pathwaysEffect of Claudin-5 on MDA-MB-231 cell migration following treatment with HGF, N-WASP inhibitor or ROCK inhibitor using ECIS. (a) Migration was significantly increased in MDApEF6 ± HGF, MDACl5exp ± HGF and MDACL5rib2 ± HGF when compared to untreated cells (p ≤ 0.001, p ≤ 0.001 and p = 0.003 versus respective untreated controls) (n = 3). (b) Migration was significantly decreased in MDApEF6 ± N-WASP inhibitor, MDACl5exp ± N-WASP inhibitor and MDACL5rib2 ± N-WASP inhibitor when compared to untreated cells (p ≤ 0.001, p = 0.006 and p = 0.018 respectively) (n = 3). (c) Migration was significantly decreased in MDApEF6 ± ROCK inhibitor (p ≤ 0.001). MDACl5exp ± ROCK inhibitor and MDACL5rib2 ± ROCK inhibitor did not show significant differences when compared to untreated cells (p = 0.403 and p = 0.072 respectively) (n = 3).Back to article page
