Expression of ALDH3A1 is associated with poor survival of patients with gastric cancer. Knockdown of ALDH3A1 inhibits proliferation of gastric cancer cells. (a) Kaplan–Meier survival curve. GC patients positive for ALDH3A1 (n = 673) had a worse prognosis than those that were negative for ALDH3A1 (n = 459) (p = 0.0146, log-rank test). (b) Representative images of immunohistochemical staining of ALDH3A1. Scale bar Re20 µm. (c) Western blot showing higher expression of ALDH3A1 by gastric cancer cell lines compared with other ALDH isotypes. (d) Small interfering (si)RNA-mediated knockdown of ALDH3A1, as assessed by Western blotting. (e) Knockdown of ALDH3A1 suppressed proliferation of gastric cancer cells in an SRB assay. Data are expressed as the mean and standard deviation of three independent experiments. *p <0.05, **p <0.01, ***p <0.001.
