Fig. 2From: C1QTNF6 promotes oral squamous cell carcinoma by enhancing proliferation and inhibiting apoptosisKnockdown of C1QTNF6 inhibits cell proliferation in OSCC cell lines. mRNA (A) and protein (B) levels of C1QTNF6 in CAL-27 and SCC-9 cells transfected with LV-Ctrl-shRNA or LV-C1QTNF6-shRNA. GAPDH was used as internal control. Cell growth was measured by Celigo assay over five days. Fluorescent images are shown for Cal-27 cells (C) and SCC-9 cells (D) (magnification, × 200,scale bar,100 μm) transfected with LV-Ctrl-shRNA (shCtrl) or LV-C1QTNF6-shRNA (shC1QTNF6). The cell growth curves (C&D right panels) show the cell number fold from days 1 to 5. Knockdown of C1QTNF6 inhibits proliferation of Cal-27 (E) and SCC-9 cells (F) as assessed using MTT assay.All statistics are represented as mean ± SD.**P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001Back to article page
