Verification of NCAPG knockdown in AGS and HGC-27 cells, and the effect of stable NCAPG knockdown on cell growth and cell cycle distribution. The Western blotting results (A) Indicate NCAPG was efficiently knockdown by shRNA treatment. (B) Stable NCAPG knockdown resulted in remarkedly decreased colony formation. (C) Stable NCAPG knockdown resulted in a sustained accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase. Cellular distribution (as percentages) in different phases of the cell cycle (G0/G1, S, and G2/M) is presented. (D) Stable NCAPG knockdown resulted in dysregulated expressions of G0/G1-related molecules. A typical result from three independent experiments is shown.
