[Retracted] HMGB3 Targeted by miR-145-5p Impacts Proliferation, Migration, Invasion, and Apoptosis of Breast Cancer Cells

Figure 2

Altered HMGB3 expression affects BC cell proliferation, invasion, migration, apoptosis, and EMT. (a) Transfection efficiency of cells in each group. (b) BC cell proliferation. (c) BC cell invasion (magnification: 100x; migrating cell numbers were the average value of 5 random fields). (d) Migratory ability of BC cells (magnification: 40x; ). (e) Apoptotic rate of BC cells. (f) Morphology changes of cells were detected by an inverted microscope. (g) Protein expression of E-cadherin, vimentin, and N-cadherin in BC cells. Student’s -test was employed for statistics. Samples in each group were plated in triplicate. The experiments were repeated thrice. .
