Overexpression of MORC2 promotes proliferation of SMMC7721 cells in vitro. (A) Overexpression of MORC2 in SMMC7721 cells by lentivirus-mediated packed pLV-MORC2 vector was confirmed by western blot analysis; β-actin was used as a loading control. (B) Effect of overexpression of MORC2 on the proliferation on SMMC7721 cells was determined using a cell counting kit-8 assay. (C) Effect of overexpression of MORC2 on colony numbers was determined by a colony formation assay in SMMC7721 cells. (D) Effect of overexpression of MORC2 on the percentage of cells in the S/G2/M-phase and on (E) SMMC7721 cell apoptosis were determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation of three or six independent experiments. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001. MORC2, microrchidia 2; CON, control.
