<p>(A) AGS cells were transfected with Fascin siRNA or NC siRNA for 36 h, and Fascin expression in the cells was detected by Western blot. After (B) inhibition of Fascin expression by siRNA; or (C) treated with 10 μM Stattic for 2 h; or (D) inhibition of STAT3 expression by siRNA, and stimulated with 5 μg/ml of anti-Fas for 2 h, the number of AGS cells which migrated to the bottom of the Transwell filter was quantified (n = 5). Data are representative of three independent experiments. (**p <0.01)</p
