Figure 1. SET is highly expressed in lung tumors and is critically associated with the oncogenic potency of NSCLC cells.

(A) Representative images of the immunohistochemical staining of SET in the normal parts (left column) and tumor parts (middle column) obtained from patients with NSCLCs. H score of each samples analyzed were presented in the dot plot (right column). Red bar: mean, block bar: S.D. (B) The average proliferation rate of A549 cells with and without knockdown of SET detected by MTT. (n = 6) (C) Representative images and quantification of the mean number per dish of the colony formation of A549 cells with and without knockdown of SET. (n = 3) (D) Representative image and quantification of the mean number per dish of the sphere formation of A549 cells with and without knockdown of SET. (n = 3).
