Fig. 6From: Inactivation of ZSCAN18 by promoter hypermethylation drives the proliferation via attenuating TP53INP2-mediated autophagy in gastric cancer cellsZSCAN18-induced suppression of GC cell proliferation is mediated by TP53INP2. Three groups of cells were established in both AGS and NCI-N87 cells: ZSCAN18 overexpression and TP53INP2 knockdown (ZSCAN18 + shTP53INP2), ZSCAN18 overexpression and empty vector knockdown (ZSCAN18 + shVector), empty vector and empty vector knockdown (Vector + shVector). A Alteration of cell viability was detected among three groups in both AGS and NCI-N87 cells. B Alteration of colony formation was detected among three groups in both AGS and NCI-N87 cells. C The lethal effect in vivo was detected among three groups in NCI-N87 cells. D, E The autophagic flux was detected among three groups in both AGS and NCI-N87 cells. Each experiment was performed in triplicate and repeated at least three times. Data were represented as mean ± SD. ****p < 0.0001Back to article page
