Figure 4From: Expression of natriuretic peptide receptor-A in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and the relationship with tumor invasion and migrationBlockage of natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPRA) by sh-RNA suppressed the expression of MMP2 and MMP9. Sh-RNA against NPRA was used to downregulate the expression of NPRA and western blot was used to detect the expression of MMP2 and MMP9. (A): western blot figure, (B): Bar chart from A. *P <0.05 compared with normal epithelial cell (NC) group using the Student’s t-test.Back to article page
