Figure Lengend Snippet: RBMS3 suppresses migration and invasion of colon cancer cells. (A, B) The transwell migration and invasion assays revealed that the overexpression of RBMS3 exerts an inhibitory effect on the migration and invasion of HCT15 and HCT116 cells (magnification, 100×; scale bars, 200 μm). (C, D) Statistical analysis of the cell migration and invasion among different groups was conducted using the t ‐test, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. (E, F) The scratch assay was employed to assess the migration of HCT15 cells in the overexpressed RBMS3, knocked‐down RBMS3, and control groups. (G, H) Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the migration area of HCT15 cells in the overexpressed RBMS3, knocked‐down RBMS3, and control groups at different time points, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. (I) The number of lung metastatic lesions observed under the microscope in the overexpressed RBMS3, knocked‐down RBMS3, and control groups in the tail vein lung metastasis model were statistically analyzed using the t ‐test, * p < 0.05. (J) The tail vein injection model was used to examine the influence of RBMS3 on the lung colonization of HCT116 cells in vivo, with a total of ten mice in each group. (magnification, 20×; scale bars, 500 μm; the black arrow represents the location of the metastasis).
