Figure Lengend Snippet: (A)PIM1 mRNA expression in L929 cells transfected with the PIM1 overexpression plasmid was detected using RT-qPCR. (B)Expression and quantitative analysis of PIM1 protein in L929 cells transfected with the PIM1 overexpression plasmid were determined by Western blot. (C) Representative images (left) and quantitative analysis (right) of wound healing assays in cells with PIM1 overexpression (scale bar: 100μm). (D) Transwell migration assay showing representative images (right) and quantification (left) of migrated cells(scale bar: 100μm). (E)Proliferation capacity of L929 cells transfected with the PIM1 overexpression plasmid was assessed using EDU staining and quantitatively analyzed (scale bar: 20μm). (F)SA-β-gal staining and quantitative analysis of L929 cells transfected with the PIM1 overexpression plasmid were performed (scale bar: 50μm). (G)Expression and quantitative analysis of LaminB1, P21, P16, γH2A.X, and β-actin proteins in L929 cells transfected with the PIM1 overexpression plasmid were determined by Western blot. (H)Laser confocal immunofluorescence images of HP1γ (green), H3K9me3 (red), and DAPI (blue) in L929 cells transfected with the PIM1 overexpression plasmid and quantification using ImageJ software (scale bar: 10μm). (I) Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry in L929 cells transfected with PIM1 overexpression plasmid. Representative DNA histograms show cell distribution in G1, S, and G2 phases (analyzed by FlowJo software using Watson model for curve fitting).All results represent data from three independent experiments. Control group: CON, empty vector group: pVector, PIM1-expressing plasmid group: pPIM1. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, ns: non-significant.
