Figure 9. Effect of GPC3 on cell proliferation and clonogenic capacity of liver CD90+GPC3+CSCs.

Figure 9

(A) Cell proliferation was assessed after GPC3 knockdown in PLC CD90+GPC3+ cancer stem cells. No significant effect of GPC3 on liver cancer stem cell proliferation was found. (B) Knockdown of GPC3 in PLC CD90+GPC3+ cancer stem cells by siRNA did not affect their colony formation ability, indicating that GPC3 had no impact on clonogenicity of the liver cancer stem cells.
