SP3 depletion suppresses migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. a RT-qPCR analysis showing the mRNA level of SP3 in normal breast tissues and breast tumors. GAPDH acts as internal control. b RT-qPCR analysis showing the mRNA level of SP3 in MCF10A and breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SKBR3). GAPDH acts as internal control. c Western blot analysis showing the protein level of SP3 in MCF10A and breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SKBR3). β-actin acts as internal control. d RT-qPCR analysis showing the mRNA level of SP3 in MCF-7 transfected with shSP3#1, shSP3#2, shSP3#3, shSP3#4. e Western blot analysis and quantification showing the protein level of SP3 in MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with shNC or shSP3(shSP3#4). β-actin acts as internal control. f Wound healing assay and quantification showing migration of shNC or SP3 knockdown MCF-7 cells. The photographs were taken at time points of 0, 12, 24 h. g Wound healing assay and quantification showing migration of shNC or SP3 knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells. The photographs were taken at time points of 0, 12, 24 h. h Transwell invasion assay and quantification showing the invasion ability of shNC or SP3 knockdown MCF-7 cells. 5 fields were counted per sample and the photographs were taken at 24 h. i Transwell invasion assay and quantification showing the invasion ability of shNC or SP3 knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells. 5 fields were counted per sample and the photographs were taken at 24 h. All data were presented as mean ± SD from three biological replicates (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01)
