TSPAN7 overexpression promotes cell proliferation.

Notes: (A) MTT assay was used to determine the cell proliferation rate of the A549 and H1299 cells with or without overexpression of TSPAN7 at the time point as indicated (TSPAN7-OV means TSPAN7 overexpression). (B) Effect of TSPAN7 overexpression on colony formation was measured in A549 and H1299 cells. The cells were seeded into six-well plates and cultured for 14 days, followed by crystal violet staining. The colony counts were shown below the graph. (C and D) A transwell assay was performed with the A549 and H1299 cells to measure the migration rate (points = means of three independent experiments; error bars = SEM; n=3; two-way ANOVA) (TSPAN7-OV means TSPAN7 overexpression). Statistical significance was calculated using Student’s t-tests when only two groups were compared; **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001.
