Fig. 4From: Cancer-associated fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles promote lymph node metastases in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma by encapsulating ITGB1 and BMI1Knockdown of BMI1 and ITGB1 abates the promoting effects of CAF-EVs on OCSCC cells. A The expression of BMI1 and ITGB1 in OCSCC cells with BMI1 or ITGB1 knockdown was measured using RT-qPCR. B The wound healing rate of OCSCC cells with BMI1 or ITGB1 knockdown was determined using a wound healing assay. C The effect of BMI1 or ITGB1 knockdown on the migration and invasion of OCSCC cells. D The effect of BMI1 or ITGB1 knockdown on the proliferative capacity of OCSCC cells measured using EdU proliferation assay. E The effect of BMI1 or ITGB1 knockdown on the colony-forming ability of OCSCC cells was measured using colony formation assay. Two-way ANOVA. Data are presented as means ± SD. Results are representative of at least three independent experiments (*p <.05)Back to article page
