Figure 2. Calycosin treatment reduces BATF levels in breast cancer cells. (A) RT-qPCR analysis shows relative levels of BATF mRNA in T47D and MCF-7 cells treated with different concentrations of calycosin. (B) Western blot analysis shows the relative levels of BATF protein in T47D and MCF-7 cells treated with different concentrations of calycosin. (C, D) RT-qPCR and western blot analyses show the relative levels of BATF mRNA and protein in control, BATF-overexpressing, and BATF-silenced T47D and MCF-7 cells. (E) RT-qPCR analysis shows relative levels of CD147, MMP-2, and MMP-9 transcripts in control, BATF-overexpressing, and BATF-silenced T47D and MCF-7 cells. (F) Western blot analysis shows relative levels of CD147, MMP-2, and MMP-9 proteins in control, BATF-overexpressing, and BATF-silenced T47D and MCF-7 cells. (G) Transwell invasion assay results show invasiveness of control, BATF-overexpressing, and BATF-knockdown T47D and MCF-7 cells. (H) Wound healing assay results show migration rates of control, BATF-overexpressing, and BATF-knockdown T47D and MCF-7 cells. The data were presented as means ± SD. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001.
