G6pd is associated with CSC-like characteristics of Ymac-1. (A) Determination of G6pd mRNA expression in normal liver (N, n = 4), HCC tissues from Gnmt−/− mice (T, n = 4) and Ymac-1 cells. (B) Determination of G6pd mRNA expression in G6pd knockdown (shG6pd-1 and shG6pd-2) and control (shLacZ) Ymac-1 cells. (C) Proliferation assay of cells in (B). ns, non-significant using one-ANOVA test. (DE) mRNA expression levels of CSC (CD13, CD90 and CD133) and EMT (Snail, Slug and N-cad) markers in G6pd knockdown cells. (F) Sphere-forming efficiency of G6pd knockdown Ymac-1 cells. n = 4. Bar: 50 μm. (G) Tumorigenicity of G6pd knockdown Ymac-1 cells. n = 8 Bar: 50 mm. Data is presented as mean ± s.d. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001, using Student’s t-test.
