RNA Interference Targeting Snail Inhibits the Transforming Growth Factor β2-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Human Lens Epithelial Cells

Figure 8

Inhibition of migration ability by Snail siRNA. Serum starved HLEB3 cells were transfected with human Snail siRNA (P2), negative control siRNA (P5) before the cells were stimulated with TGFβ2 for 48 h. Transwell assay was used to detect the migration ability of cells. (a) Crystal violet stained transmembrane cells under light microscope (100x). (b) The count of migrated HLEB3 cells from triplicated experiments.* compared with siRNA (−)/TGFβ2 (+) (10 ng/mL).
