Fig. 2From: Silencing of PSMC2 inhibits development and metastasis of prostate cancer through regulating proliferation, apoptosis and migrationKnockdown of PSMC2 inhibited cell growth in vitro. PSMC2 knockdown cell models were constructed through the transfection of shCtrl or shPSMC2. a The knockdown efficiencies of PSMC2 in PC-3 and DU 145 cells were detected by qPCR. b The successful knockdown of PSMC2 in PC-3 and DU 145 cells were confirmed by western blotting. c The effects of PSMC2 knockdown on cell proliferation of PC-3 and DU 145 cells were evaluated by Celigo cell counting assay. d Colony formation assay was performed to detect the effects of PSMC2 on colony formation ability of PC-3 and DU 145 cells. Results were presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
