Silencing the TUFM gene decreases the cell viability and proliferation of GIST-T1 and GIST-IR cells. (A) CCK-8 assays demonstrated that TUFM silencing decreased cell viability in GIST-T1 and GIST-IR cells. (B) Inhibition rate results demonstrated that GIST-T1 and GIST-IR cells presented with the maximum inhibition effect on days 2 and 3 post TUFM shRNA transfection, respectively. TUFM, mitochondrial Tu translation elongation factor; sh, short hairpin; GIST, gastrointestinal stromal tumor; OD, optical density.
