eIF4G1 is required for cell growth, colony formation, expression of EMT genes and cell migration in PCa Cells: Loss of Function studies following knockdown of eIF4G1 using siRNA (a,b). Cell viability was measured by crystal violet assay at 48–96 h with siControl and sieIF4G1, the graph showed absorbance at 560 nm for LNCaP (a) and C4-2B (b). (c) Cell proliferation assay for LNCaP and C4-2B (d) done by MTT assay at 24–96 h with siControl and sieIF4G1. (e) Colony formation for LNCaP and C4-2B (f) siControl and sieIF4G1, Lower panels: Colonies were counted using an ImageJ software. Error bar represents ± SD. (g) Representative image of immunoblotting for LNCaP and C4-2B for N-Cadherin & Snail 1 with siControl and sieIF4G1. (h) Representative image and graph of Transwell cell migration assays on LNCaP (h) & C4-2B (i) with Vector Control (VC) & sheIF4G1. p-values are indicated as *<0.05, **<0.01, ***<0.001.
