Effects of APOC1 knockdown on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of CRC cells after transfection with si-Control or si-APOC1.

Notes: (A) Cell proliferation of SW480 and SW620 cells was detected using the CCK-8 assay. (B) Representative images of the clonogenic cell survival assays that were performed in SW480 and SW620 cells. (C) Flow cytometry analysis of the proportion of the cells indicated in each stage of the cell cycle (G1, G2 and S) and the percentage of cells in the G0/G1, S and G2/M phase of the cell cycle were quantified and expressed as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. (D) Levels of apoptosis in the SW480 and SW620 cells after transfection with si-Control or si-APOC1 for 24 hrs. The cells were stained with Annexin V and PI. (E) Cell migration and invasion in SW480 and SW620 cells were assessed using Transwell assay with or without a Matrigel-coated transwell chamber. Magnification, ×100. (F) Detection of Bcl-2, caspase-9, cyclin D1 and cyclin B1 protein levels by Western blotting. Detection of GAPDH was used as a loading control. Blank: wild-type cells; si-Control: negative control siRNA; si-APOC1: APOC1-siRNA transfected cells (*P<0.05, **P<0.01 Vs si-APOC1).
