The effects of CDK1 on cell proliferation and the cell cycle. (A) The mRNA level of CDK1 was induced in the siRNA-CDK1-treated group compared with the siRNA-NC-treated group in MDA-MB-231 and HCC-1937 cells. ***P<0.001. (B) MTT assay colony forming assays showed that silencing of CDK1 suppressed cell proliferation. ***P<0.001. (C) Colony forming assays showed that silencing of CDK1 suppressed the colony forming ability of cells. ***P<0.001 (D) Silencing of CDK1 disrupted the cell cycle. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. siRNA, small interfering RNA; CDK, cyclin-dependent kinase; NC, negative control.
