Downregulation of TMOD1 promotes HeLa and CaSki cell proliferation. The stably transfected HeLa and CaSki cells were cultured in DMEM supplied with 2% FBS. Phase-contrast images were captured at day 4 of (A) HeLa and (C) CaSki cells. Scale bar, 100 µm. Cell numbers were counted, and the data quantified for (B) HeLa and (D) CaSki cells. The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). *P<0.01 vs. control shRNA group; ^#P<0.01 vs. TMOD1 shRNA-1 group. Scale bar, 100 µm. TMOD1, tropomodulin-1; Con, control; sh, short hairpin.
