Figure 1. Suppression of MUC1 inhibits BPDE-induced transformation in BEAS-2B cells.

Figure 1

A, BEAS-2B cells were transfected with MUC1 siRNA or negative control siRNA. The cells were then treated with BPDE (0.1 µM) for 1 wk and seeded in soft agar. Colony formation was photographed under a light microscope. B, Quantitative representation of the transformation experiment. Bars show the averages of colony numbers of 6 randomly selected fields. Data shown are mean ± S.D; ** P<0.01. Insert, Confirmation of MUC1 knockdown by Western blot.
