ST6GAL1 activates cGMP/PKG signal axis to play oncogenic activities. (A) C33A cells were transiently transfected with pcDNA3.1-ST6GAL1 overexpressing plasmid (ST6GAL1), empty vector (EV), short hairpin RNA targeting ST6GAL1 (shST6GAL1), or a non-targeting control (shNTC). Forty-eight hours later, expression of classic proteins involved in TGF-β, cGMP/PKG, and Hippo signaling pathways were detected by Western blot. (B) Proliferation of indicated cells were detected by CCK-8 assay. (C) The clones of indicated cells were visualized by crystal violet staining. (D) Statistical analysis of colony numbers in C33A cells received indicated treatment. (E, F) Apoptosis of indicated cells were detected by flow cytometry, and then, apoptotic rates were statistically analyzed. (G, H) Migrative abilities of indicated cells were detected by wound-healing assay and statistically analyzed. (I, J) Invasive abilities of indicated cells were detected by Transwell assay and statistically analyzed. Data were presented as mean ± SD from the three independent replicates. **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
