Figure Lengend Snippet: A mRNA levels were measured by RT‑qPCR in AGS and MKN45 cells transfected with control (CON) or gene‑specific overexpression plasmids for NDUFA12 , FGD6 , NR2C1 or VEZT at 48 h. Data are presented as the mean ± SD from n = 3 biologically independent experiments. Significance relative to the CON for each gene was assessed using an unpaired two‑tailed t ‑test (no adjustment for multiple comparisons) and denoted as * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001; ns not significant. Exact P values are provided in the figure. B Cell viability was monitored over time. Data are presented as the mean ± SD from n = 3 biologically independent experiments, each performed in triplicate wells. Significance at each time point relative to CON was determined by two‑way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test and denoted as ns not significant, * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01 and *** P < 0.001. Exact P values are provided in the figure. C , D EdU staining ( C ) and colony formation assays ( D ) were performed in transfected AGS and MKN45 cells. Images are representative of n = 3 biologically independent experiments. Scale bar, 100 μm. CON control, OP overexpression.
Article Snippet: The HEK293T, AGS and MKN45 cell lines were obtained from Procell (Wuhan, China) and cultured in DMEM (for HEK293T), Ham’s F-12K (for AGS) or RPMI-1640 (for MKN45) medium (all from Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA), each supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco).
