FIG 5.

SLFN5 knockdown does not affect cell proliferation. (A) Equal numbers of 786-0 control siRNA- and SLFN5 siRNA-transfected cells were cultured for the indicated times. After 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 days of incubation, cell proliferation was assessed by WST assays. Data are expressed as means ± standard errors of results from three independent experiments. (B) Control shRNA-GFP⁺ and SLFN5 shRNA-GFP⁺ 786-0 cells were seeded in culture dishes and harvested after 3 or 4 days. Cell counts were obtained using the trypan blue dye exclusion test. Data are expressed as means ± standard errors of results from three independent experiments.
