Microgravity significantly increases Sub-G0 population. Microgravity alters Cell cycle in colorectal cancer cells. The individual histogram of the Propidium iodide staining in cells counted through Flow cytometer (af), shows clear shift towards Sub-G0 population in SM colorectal cancer cells DLD1, HCT116 and SW620 (b,d,f) respectively, compared to the respective controls (a,c,e). The graphical representation of the population shift during microgravity (g) in mean + S.D., Sub-G0 and G0-G1 shift in DLD1 was highly significant P < 0.0005, compared to HCT116 P < 0.05 and SW620 P < 0.005. The experiment was performed a minimum of three times with individual controls. qPCR analysis of Gene expression for CDK7, CCNG2, CCNT2, CDKN2B and CDKN2D genes between DLD1 cells subjected to SM and shifted to normal (SS) with GAPDH as housekeeping control (e), represented in log fold change of mean + S.D. *P < 0.05. The experiments were performed three times with individual controls.
