a Effect of WIPI1 knockdown on the glioma cell proliferation tested by the colony formation assay. b Effect of WIPI1 knockdown on the glioma cell apoptosis detected by the flow cytometry. c Effect of WIPI1 knockdown on the invasion abilities of glioma cells detected by the Transwell invasion assay. d Effect of WIPI1 knockdown on the migration abilities of glioma cells detected by the wound healing assay. e Quantitative analysis of the numbers of colonies. f Quantitative analysis of apoptosis rate. g Quantitative analysis of the number of invaded cells. h Quantitative analysis of the migration rate. The transfected cells were treated with gefitinib (20 μM for A172 cells and 40 μM for SHG-44 cells). In the colony formation assay, the cells were cultured for 2 more weeks. In all other assays, the transfected cells were cultured for 48 h. The result was a representative of three independent experiments. Note: Error bars represented mean ± SD. p values were determined by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey post hoc test. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05.
