Overexpression of hGAAP increases the speed of cell migration. (A–F) U2-OS cells overexpressing hGAAP, hGAAP Ctmut, or control neo (A–C) or cells transfected with siRNA (D–F) were seeded at low density on fibronectin-coated dishes. Individual cells were imaged at 5-min intervals for 18 h. Tracks of individual cells (n = 30) are shown in A and D. Migration rates (B and E) and persistence (where 1 represents a straight line of migration from start to finish; C and F) are shown as means ± SEM from 30 cells. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001 (Student’s t test, relative to neo or control siRNA cells). AU, arbitrary unit.
