Article Title: USP25 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression by interacting with TRIM21 via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway
doi: 10.1097/CM9.0000000000002714
Figure Lengend Snippet: USP25 promotes HCC cell proliferation in vitro. (A–C) HepG2 and MHCC97H cell lines with USP25 overexpression or knockdown were successfully established, as verified by analysis of protein and mRNA levels and fluorescence microscopy (Original magnification × 100). (D–F) Colony formation and CCK-8 assays were performed to detect cell proliferation. (G–J) DNA synthesis was measured by EdU IF staining (Original magnification × 200). * P <0.05; † P <0.001; ‡ P <0.01.CCK-8: Cell counting kit-8; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; IF: Immunofluorescence; USP25: Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 25; EdU: 5-ethnyl-2-deoxyuridine; DAPI: 4′,6-Diamidino-2′-phenylindole; shUSP25: short hairpin Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 25; GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Article Snippet: Six human HCC cell lines (HepG2, HuH7, SMMC7721, Bel7402, MHCC97H, and PLC/PRF/5) and a normal hepatocyte cell line (L-O2) were obtained from the China Center for Type Culture Collection (Wuhan, China).
