Figure Lengend Snippet: PKMYT1 knockdown inhibits K562 cell growth. a) The mRNA expression of PKMYT1 in peripheral blood from the GSE100026 database in healthy individuals, patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the chronic phase, and patients with CML in the blast crisis. b) Key genes linked to PKMYT1 in the STRING database. c) The effect of PKMYT1 knockdown on G2/M cell cycle transition in K562 cells was assessed by flow cytometry (n = 3). d) The effects of PKMYT1 knockdown on cell cycle proteins in K562 cells were examined by immunoblotting. e) Detection of the effect of PKMYT1 knockdown on K562 cell proliferation via a soft agar colony formation assay (n = 3). f) Detection of the effect of PKMYT1 knockdown on K562 cell proliferation via EdU staining (n = 5). g) Effect of PKMYT1 knockdown on ROS levels in K562 cells (n = 5). h) Effect of PKMYT1 knockdown on the mitochondrial membrane potential in K562 cells (n = 5). i) Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) levels in wild‐type or PKMYT1‐knockdown cells were assessed using a Seahorse XF24 analyzer (n = 6). j‐l), Basal respiration, ATP production, and Maximum respiration were assessed (n = 6). For 6c,e‐h,j‐l, the data are presented as the means ± SDs. Statistical significance was assessed via two‐tailed unpaired Student's t‐test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus the control group.
