MAP2K4 interacts with Vimentin to activate the PI3K/AKT pathway and promotes breast cancer pathogenesis
Figure 2. Silencing of MAP2K4 inhibits proliferation, migration, and invasion of breast cancer cells. (A) and (B),Two siRNA sequences were transfected to knockdown MAP2K4 expression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. MAP2K4 expression was detected with qRT-PCR and Western blot in MAP2K4-silenced breast cancer cells, normalized to GAPDH or β-actin. Mean ± SD,**P<0.01. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were measured by MTT assays (C), EdU assays (D), Transwell (E) and Boyden assays (F). Mean ± SD, *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001.
