Long Noncoding RNA HOTAIR Is Associated with Motility, Invasion, and Metastatic Potential of Metastatic Melanoma
Figure 4
Degradation of matrix in situ is suppressed by knockdown of HOTAIR. (a) qRT-PCR analysis was performed to examine HOTAIR RNA levels in A375 cells transfected with siControl or siHOTAIR (I and II). (b) A375 cells were transfected with siControl or siHOTAIR (I and II) for 24 hours. In situ zymography was performed with Oregon green 488-conjugated gelatin. Cells were plated on gelatin matrix and incubated for 24 hours. The slides were observed by phase-contrast microscopy (left column), and gelatin degradation was visualized by fluorescence microscopy (right column).
