Overexpression of KRT23 promoted proliferation and migration in RKO CRC cells. (a) Cell viability was analyzed by MTT in RKO cells that were infected with or the NSP LV-NC. (b) Colony formation assay of RKO cells infected with LV-KRT23 or the NSP LV-NC. (c) Cell migration was analyzed by a wound-healing assay. RKO cells were seeded in 6-well plates and grown to full confluence (50 ×). (d) The phosphorylated and total ERK and p38 levels in RKO cells infected with LV-KRT23 were measured by a western blot assay using antibodies against p-p38, p38, p-ERK and ERK. (e) Cell viability was analyzed by CCK-8 in RKO cells that were treated with U0126 and/or LV-KRT23. (f) Cell viability was analyzed by CCK-8 in RKO cells that were treated with SB203580 and/or LV-KRT23. (g) Cell migration was analyzed by a wound-healing assay. RKO cells were treated with SB203580 and/or LV-KRT23. (h) Cell migration was analyzed by a wound-healing assay. RKO cells were treated with U0126 and/or LV-KRT23. (i) The phosphorylated and total p38 levels in RKO cells treated with SB203580 and/or LV-KRT23 were measured by a western blot assay using antibodies against p-p38 and p38. (j) The phosphorylated and total ERK 1/2 levels in RKO cells treated with U0126 and/or LV-KRT23 were measured by a western blot assay using antibodies against p-ERK 1/2 and ERK 1/2 (*P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001)
