Fig. 2From: MEX3A knockdown inhibits the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomaKnockdown of MEX3A inhibits cell proliferation and migration, promotes apoptosis in PDA cells. a Cell proliferation of PANC-1 and SW1990 cells with or without knockdown of MEX3A was evaluated by MTT assay. b Colony formation was evaluated for PANC-1 and SW1990 cells with or without MEX3A knockdown. c Flow cytometry analysis based on Annexin V-APC staining was utilized to detect the percentage of early apoptotic cell for PANC-1 and SW1990 cells. d Cell migration of PANC-1 and SW1990 cells with or without knockdown of MEX3A was evaluated by Transwell assay. The data were expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3), *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
