PTK7 positively regulates cell proliferation in esophageal squamous tumor cells. PTK7 level was knocked down by siRNA in human esophageal squamous carcinoma cell lines, TE-5 (a) and TE-9 (b). PTK7 western blot (left panels) was performed to confirm the siRNA results. Proliferation of the knockdown (siPTK7) and the control cells (siControl) was measured by MTT assays in TE-5 and TE-9 ( PTK7 was overexpressed in both TE-5 (c) and TE-9 (d) cells, cell proliferation was measured by MTT assays.
