From: STAT6 expression in glioblastoma promotes invasive growth

Figure 6

Knockdown of STAT6 impairs invasion in U-1242MG and U-87MG. Equal numbers of cells were seeded into the upper compartment of a transwell system and allowed to invade through a type IV collagen substrate for 8 hours. The invaded cells were then fixed and counted. Figure 6a: In U-1242MG, invasion was inhibited by 25-35% in the STAT6 knockdown clones compared to the non-target and wild type cells. Figure 6b: The effect was more dramatic in the STAT6-depleted U-87MG clones, which exhibited a decrease in invasion of 30-75%. Error bars represent the S.E.M. and an asterisk (*) indicates statistically significant divergence from control as determined by student t-test. Experiments were repeated a minimum of three times, and results normalized against the non-target control. (P < 0.01)
