USP39 Promotes In Vitro Transmigration of MM Cells. A OPM2 cells were transfected with control, USP39 or ZEB1 siRNAs for 48 h. Then, immunoblots were performed using USP39, ZEB1, β-Catenin, N-Cadherin, Vimentin and GAPDH antibodies (left) and protein quantifications were determined (right). In parallel, the metabolic activity (lower left) and the migration of the cells (lower right) were measured under the same conditions. B KMM1 cells were either transfected with Control or USP39 siRNAs for 24 h. Then cells were transfected with pcDNA3-Flag or pcDNA3-Flag-USP39 vectors. After 72 h, lysates from these cells were subjected to immunoblots using USP39, Flag-Tag or GAPDH, antibodies (left part). After 96 h of transfections, the migration capacity of cells was measured by Boyden chamber assays (right part). C and D) U266 (C) and OPM2 (D) cells were stably transduced with lentiviral particles encoding GFP or GFP-USP39 and were subjected to immunoblots using USP39, ZEB1 or GAPDH antibodies. E, F U266 (E) and OPM2 (F) cells were stably transfected with lentiviral particles encoding Myc or Myc-USP39 and were subjected to immunoblots using USP39, ZEB1 or GAPDH antibodies. In parallel, the migration capacity of corresponding cells was measured by Boyden chamber assays
