CBX2 is highly expressed in HCC cell lines, and knockdown of CBX2 decreases the proliferation of human HCC cells in vitro. (A) High CBX2 expression was detected in HCC cells, including Hep3B, Bel-7402, Bel-5Fu, 97-H, SK-Hep-1 and Huh7 cells. Protein levels were monitored by western blot. (B) The intensities of western blots were quantified using Image Lab 5.0 software and were normalized to GAPDH. (C) Two of the CBX2 siRNAs (Si2 and Si3) significantly reduced the expression of CBX2 protein in both Huh7 and Bel-7402 cells. (D, E) CCK-8 assay demonstrated that knockdown of CBX2 by CBX2 siRNAs (Si2 and Si3) significantly decreased the proliferation of Huh7 and Bel-7402 cells.(* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01).
