MEX3A promotes cell proliferation by regulating the RORA/β-catenin pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 5 Effects of MEX3A on cell cycle and related protein expression. A and B: Flow cytometry was used to examine the effect of knockdown of MEX3A on the cell cycle in HepG2 cells; C and D: Flow cytometry was used to examine the effect of knockdown of MEX3A on the cell cycle in MHCC-97H cells. Data are presented as the mean ± SD; E and F: Western blotting detection of the effect of MEX3A silencing on levels of proteins in the Wnt/b-catenin and epithelial-mesenchymal transition pathways; G: Immunofluorescence detection of the effect of MEX3A silencing on localization of β-catenin. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01, ^cP < 0.001. Scale bar = 50 μm.
