Fig. 5From: IRF4 overexpression promotes the transdifferentiation of tregs into macrophage‐like cells to inhibit the development of colon cancerIRF4 overexpression repressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion of SW480 and HCT116 cells. Tregs were transfected with LV-IRF4 or LV-ctrl. Normal Tregs served as control. SW480 and HCT116 cells were incubated with the cell culture medium of the normal or modified Tregs. a MTT assay was performed to estimate cell proliferation of SW480 and HCT116 cells. b Wound-healing assay was performed to assess migration of SW480 and HCT116 cells. c Transwell invasion assay was performed to explore invasion of SW480 and HCT116 cells.
