Fig. 5From: SIAH1 ubiquitination-modified HMGCR inhibits lung cancer progression and promotes drug sensitivity through cholesterol synthesisSIAH1 enhances cisplatin sensitivity through HMGCR inhibition of efflux protein activity to inhibit cell proliferation migration invasion(A) The IC50 of cisplatin in A549/DDP stable cell lines overexpressing SIAH1 with or without cholesterol. (B) The IC50 of cisplatin in the constructed A549/DDP cell lines knocked down SIAH1 and/or HMGCR. (C-D) The relative mRNA and protein levels of SIAH1, HMGCR, and ABCB1 in the stable cell lines of A549/DDP with SIAH1 and/or HMGCR knockdown. (E) CCK8 assay was to evaluate the proliferation in the constructed A549/DDP cell lines with SIAH1 and/or HMGCR knockdown. (F) Colony formation assay in the constructed A549/DDP cell lines knocked down SIAH1 and/or HMGCR. (G) Transwell assay was to evaluate the invasion ability in the constructed A549/DDP cell lines with SIAH1 and/or HMGCR knockdown. The experiments were repeated three times. For comparisons, Student’s t test was performed. */#P < 0.05, and **/##/^^P < 0.01Back to article page
