Targeting YOD1 by RNA Interference Inhibits Proliferation and Migration of Human Oral Keratinocytes through Transforming Growth Factor-3 Signaling Pathway

Figure 3

Knockdown of YOD1 inhibited HOK cells migration determined by the scratch wound assay. HOK cells were treated with siRNA of YOD1 and negative siRNA, respectively, for 48h and serum starved for 24h, and then the ability of migration was detected by the scratch wound assay. Representative photomicrographs of HOK cells migration were taken and the relative distances of migration were measured by inverted fluorescence microscope. (a) The typical photomicrographs of HOK cells migration. (b) The results showed that the relative mobility of cells in negative control group was significantly higher than that in siRNA group. Data were expressed as mean ± SD from three separate experiments. versus the negative control. (Original magnification 100×.)
