Overexpression of MTHFD2 in CRC cell RKO and SW-480 promoted cell proliferation and migration. (A) MTHFD2 mRNA and protein expression levels were measured in RKO and SW-480 cells after transfection with the MTHFD2 vector. (B) Colony-forming experiment showed the cell proliferative capacity of RKO and SW-480 cells after overexpression of MTHFD2. (C) MTT assay analysis showed the cell growth of RKO and SW-480 cells after overexpression of MTHFD2. (D) Transwell cell migration assay showed the cell migration ability of RKO and SW-480 cells after overexpression of MTHFD2. (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, compared with the control group).
Abbreviations: MTHFD2, Methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 2; CRC, colorectal cancer.
