Fig. 6. The biological functions of GC0643 gene.

Fig. 6

a The schematic of PGMLV-GC0643 construction. b Effect of GC0643 gene transfection on HGC27 cancer cells, as monitored by qRT-PCR of GC0643 mRNA expression fold change plot and western blot of anti-DDDDK-Tag. Data are presented as mean values ± SD from n = 3 biological replicates. Data were analyzed statistically by two-tailed Student’s t-test. ***P = 4.50E–05. c The mRNA expression of GC0643 was examined by RNAScope. The positive signals (red dots) were observed in normal mucosa, but reduced in cancer tissue (right) (scale bar represents 20 μm). Representative images from n = 3 biological replicates. d, e Cell growth activity (CCK8) and colony formation (soft agar assays) are presented. d Data are presented as mean values ± SD of 5 biological replicates, and were analyzed by two-tailed Student’s t-test with nsP = 0.547, **P = 0.002, ***P = 9.99E–07, ***P = 0.0008. e Data are presented as mean values ± SD of 3 biological replicates, and were analyzed by two-tailed Student’s t-test with **P = 0.0002. f The proliferating cell ratio examination by EdU (scale bar represents 20 μm). Representative images of EdU positive cells (red dots) from n = 5 biological replicates. g, h Enforced GC0643 induced cell apoptosis and resulted in G2/M arrest. Data are presented as mean values ± SD of 5 biological replicates. P values were derived from two-tailed Student’s t-test with *P = 0.01; ***P = 1.27E–05. i Cell migratory ability was suppressed by scratch wound healing assays. P values were derived from two-tailed Student’s t-test with *P = 0.02; **P = 0.08. Data are presented as mean values ± SD of 3 biological replicates. j The changed downstream pathways based on GC0643 overexpression. k The knockdown efficiency of shRNA for GC0643 overexpressed cancer cells. P values were derived from two-tailed Student’s t-test with ***P = 5.81E-06; ***P = 4.26E–06. Data are presented as mean values ± SD of 3 biological replicates. l, m Cell migration ability are suppressed, but reversed after knockdown GC0643 by shRNA. P values were derived from two-tailed Student’s t-test with ***P = 4.70E-05, nsP = 0.067, *P = 0.013. Data are presented as mean values ± SD of 4 biological replicates.
