Figure 2. Targeting the 2-OG-dependent dioxygenase, ASPH, suppressed growth, cell cycle progression and inhibited senescence of CCA cell lines.
(A) Cell numbers were counted at day 4 in 3 CCA cell lines transduced with shRNA-luciferase (shLuc) or shRNA-ASPH (shASPH), including H1 and SSP25 as well as RBE with the IDH1mut sequences. (B) Senescence associated β-gal expression and staining was used to evaluate senescence in CCA cell lines treated as indicated. (C) Cell cycle progression was analyzed in CCA cell lines 48 hours post sub-culture by using flow cytometry. *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001.
