Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. The edited AZIN1 confers more aggressive tumorigenic phenotypes during ESCC progression. A, sequence chromatograms of the AZIN1 transcript in the indicated cell lines. Arrow, the editing position. B, cell growth rates of the indicated cell lines were compared by XTT assays. The results are expressed as described above (, P < 0.05; , P < 0.001). C, quantification of foci formation induced by the indicated stable cell lines. Triplicate independent experiments were performed and the data were expressed as described above (, P < 0.01; , P < 0.001). Scale bar, 0.5 cm. D, quantification of colonies (formed in soft agar) that were induced by the indicated cell lines. Triplicate independent experiments were performed and the data were expressed as described above (, P < 0.05; , P < 0.01). Scale bar, 200 mm. E, quantification of cells from the indicated cells that migrated through the PET-membrane or invaded through the Matrigel-coated membrane. (, P < 0.05; , P < 0.01; , P < 0.001, unpaired, two-tailed Student t test). Scale bar, 200 mm. F, growth curves of tumors derived from the indicated cell lines over a period of 4 weeks. Data are presented as the mean SD (n ¼ 6, , P < 0.05; , P < 0.001; unpaired, two-tailed Student t test).
Article Snippet: Six Japanese ESCC cell lines (KYSE140, KYSE410, KYSE180, KYSE30, KYSE510, and KYSE520) were obtained from DSMZ, the German Resource Centre for Biological Material (11).
