doi: 10.3340/jkns.2024.0080
Figure Lengend Snippet: Knockdown of spermine synthase (SMS) inhibits the malignant behavior of lower-grade glioma cells. A : Western blot analysis of SMS protein expression levels in human normal glial cell lines CP-H121/122/123 and glioma cell line HS683/U251, with statistical analysis on the right. B : The efficiency of SMS knockdown in HS683/U251 glioma cell line detected by Western blot, with protein expression analysis on the right. C : The efficiency of SMS knockdown in HS683/U251 glioma cell line detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. D : Cell proliferation before and after SMS knockdown was measured by CCK-8 assay. E : The apoptosis ratio of cells before and after SMS knockdown was measured by flow cytometry, with statistical analysis on the right. F : Several cell clones formed before and after SMS knockdown, with statistical results. G : Migration of cells before and after SMS knockdown measured by scratch wound healing assay. H : Migration and invasive ability of cells before and after SMS knockdown measured by transwell assay. NC : normal control. *** p <0.001.
Article Snippet: The HS683 (HTB-138) human oligodendroglioma cell line and the U251 (HTB-17) glioblastoma cell line were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA).
