In vitro activities of CPXM2 in GC cells. AGS and HGC-27 cells were infected with lentiviruses carrying shCPXM2-2, shCPXM2-3, or scrambled control shRNA, and then underwent CCK-8 assay (A and B), colony formation assay (C and D), scratch wound-healing assay (E and F), and Transwell® migration assay (G and H). CPXM2 silencing in these cells significantly inhibited cell proliferation and migration. Three replicates were conducted for each experiment. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001 vs. the control group. CCK-8, Cell Counting Kit-8; OD, optical density; CPXM2, carboxypeptidase X, M14 family member 2; GC, gastric cancer.
