Figure 2

Up-regulation of S100A16 increased the capacities of proliferation, migration and invasion in MCF-7 cells. (A) S100A16 was transfected in MCF-7 cells. Western blot was used to measure S100A16 protein expression in control cells (MCF7-GFP) and S100A16 overexpression cells (MCF7-S100A16). (B) MTT assay showed that the cell proliferation rate was increased after S100A16 overexpression in MCF-7 cells (Bars, mean ± SD, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). (C) Colony formation assay confirmed that up-regulation of S100A16 markedly increased the number of cell colonies in MCF-7 cells (P < 0.05). (D, E) Transwell migration and invasion assays showed that up-regulation of S100A16 increased cell migration (D) and invasion (E) abilities compared with control cells (P < 0.05). Triplicate assays were used for each experiment (Magnification, 10×).
