Knockdown of ME1 inhibits cell growth under hypoxia and reduces colony-formation. (a) Cell growth under normoxic condition for SUM159 cells with stable empty vector or knockdown of ME1 expression (left panel) as well as T47D cells with stable empty vector or ME1 expression (right panel) was measured by cell-count assay for a period of 3 days. Statistical analyses are plotted (mean ± SD in three separate experiments). (b) Cell growth under hypoxic condition was measured as in (a). Statistical analyses are plotted (mean ± SD in three separate experiments). *p < 0.01 by Student’s t-test. (c) Cell growth following treatment with or without oligomycin (25 nM) under hypoxic condition was measured as in (a). Statistical analyses are plotted (mean ± SD in three separate experiments). *p < 0.01 by Student’s t-test. (d) The formation of colonies from cells in (a) was measured. Statistical analyses are plotted (mean ± SD in three separate experiments). *p < 0.01 by Student’s t-test.
