PAQR5 promoted the proliferation, invasion and EMT of HCC cells through activation of NF-κB signaling. A, B, C, D, E, F Over-expression of PAQR5 greatly facilitated the viability, proliferation, invasion and EMT of HCC cells, while inhibiting the phosphorylation of p65 could notably mitigate the overexpression of PAQR5 induced the promotion of cell viability, proliferation, invasion and EMT in HCC. Magnification of Edu is ×200, and scale bars = 50 μm; and Magnification of Transwell is ×400, and scale bars = 20 μm. *p < 0.05
