In vitro effects of PRDX6 overexpression on MDA-MB-231 cells. Growth curves for parent cells, empty vector and PRDX6-transfected cells in an in vitro proliferation assay for MDA-MB-231 (a) and MDA-MB-435 (b) cells. Colony-formation assay in the group of 1 × 104 cells for MDA-MB-231 (c) and MDA-MB-435 (d) cells. Representative results of flow-cytometric analysis for MDA-MB-231 (e) and MDA-MB-435 (f) cells. The percentage of PRDX6-transfected cells in the S-phase was higher than that in the two control cells. The cell-adhesive potential of different cells was compared for MDA-MB-231 (g) and MDA-MB-435 (h) cells. The potential of PRDX6-transfected cells for adhesion was higher than that of the two control cells. In vitro Matrigel™ invasion assay (BD Biosciences Discovery Labware, Bedford, MA, USA) for MDA-MB-231 (i) and MDA-MB-435 (j) cells. The PRDX6-transfected cells were more invasive than their parental counterparts (P < 0.05). OD, optical density; PRDX, peroxiredoxin.
