The phrase "attenuating cell migration" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or medical contexts, particularly when discussing processes that reduce or inhibit the movement of cells.
Example: "The study focused on the mechanisms of attenuating cell migration in cancer metastasis."
Alternatives: "reducing cell migration" or "inhibiting cell movement."
In rat ASM cells BAY60 significantly attenuated cell migration, reduced G F actin, and increased PKG activity and VASP Ser239 phosphorylation (pVASP·S239) compared to VEH controls.
Moreover, lung epithelial cells transfected with syndecan-1 resistant to MMP7 proteolysis attenuates cell migration compared to wild-type syndecan-1.
In A549, H1299 and H460 cells, both Mcl-1 knockdown and VDAC-based peptides attenuated cell migration without affecting cell proliferation.
In this regard, silencing of MS4A12, a cell surface protein that controls Ca2+ flux into colon cells, attenuated cell migration and invasion of malignant intestinal cells (Koslowski et al, 2008).
Importantly, the knockdown and knockout of RSK2 attenuated cell migration (Fig. 4c and d), which was similarly observed upon magnolin treatment of A549 and NCI-H1975 lung cancer cells (Fig. 3a and b).
20 Troglitazone has also been shown to prevent the TGF-β2 stimulation-induced EMT of retinal pigment epithelium cells by inhibiting Smad2 and Smad3 phosphorylation, which attenuates cell migration.
Having established that blocking SphK1 decreases intracellular S1P levels and attenuates cell migration, next we investigated the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase (S1PL), a pyridoxal phosphate dependent enzyme, in S1Pext mediated cell motility and wound healing.
Recently, we also reported that osthole induces cell death and attenuates cell migration in brain tumor [ 37].
Suppression of this pathway may also lead to attenuated cell migration and invasion by blocking multiple proteases degrading extracellular matrix [ 22].
Furthermore, we found that forced expression of miR-144 could significantly attenuate cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro.
