Semaphorin 4A (Sema4A) regulates the invasive phenotype of synovial fibroblasts of rheumatoid arthritis (RASFs). The invasive ability of RASFs as investigated by transwell apparatus after recombinant human semaphorin 4A (rhSema4A) (a) or silencing Sema4A (b) treatment, which were depicted in × 100 magnification. Western blot was applied to detect the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)3 and MMP9 (c), as well as alpha smooth actin (α-SMA) and vimentin (d) in RASFs after rhSema4A treatment at different concentrations. GAPDH glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
