RPF2 regulates the protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway in the pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori

Figure 6 Effect of RPF2-overexpression on MMP2 and MMP9 expression, cell viability and migration. A: Western blots of MMP2 and MMP9; B and C: MMP2 and MMP9 protein levels; D: Cell counting kit 8 in overexpressing cells; E: Pictures of wound healing assay in overexpressing cells; F: Gap closure rate after wound healing assay in overexpressing cells. Purple represents small interfering-negative control + Hp27 vs small interfering-negative control. Blue represents small interfering-RPF2 vs small interfering-negative control. Gray represents small interfering-RPF2 + Hp27 vs small interfering-RPF2. ^aP < 0.05. ^bP < 0.01. ^cP < 0.001. ^dP < 0.0001. GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; H. pylori: Helicobacter pylori.
