Figure Lengend Snippet: A The CCK-8 assay was conducted to investigate the effect of glucose restriction on the proliferation of SW480/Vector, SW480/FUT3 oe ; LOVO/Vector, LOVO/FUT3 oe ; SW480/NC, SW480/siFUT3; HCT116/NC, HCT116/siFUT3 groups. B The colony-forming assay was performed to assess the impact of glucose restriction on the proliferation of SW480/Vector, SW480/FUT3 oe ; LOVO/Vector, LOVO/FUT3 oe ; SW480/NC, SW480/siFUT3; HCT116/NC, HCT116/siFUT3 groups. C The multicellular spheroid assay was carried out to investigate the effect of glucose restriction on the proliferation of SW480/Vector, SW480/FUT3 oe ; LOVO/Vector, LOVO/FUT3 oe ; SW480/NC, SW480/siFUT3; HCT116/NC, HCT116/siFUT3 groups. D Flow cytometry was utilized to analyze the effect of glucose restriction on the cell cycle of SW480/Vector, SW480/FUT3 oe ; LOVO/Vector, LOVO/FUT3 oe ; SW480/NC, SW480/siFUT3; HCT116/NC, HCT116/siFUT3 groups. E The nude mice xenograft model was used to evaluate the effect of FUT3 on the proliferation of CRC cells in vivo. F Bar chart of the subcutaneous tumor volume. G Immunohistochemistry staining was performed to visualize the expression of FUT3 and Ki67 in tumors. H A bar chart was used to indicate the expression levels of FUT3 and Ki67 in tumors. I Western blot analysis was used to determine the expression levels of FUT3, ATF4, and STC2 in subcutaneous tumors.
Article Snippet: The tissue sections were incubated with antibodies against FUT3 (1:500; 67344-1-Ig, proteintech); ATF4 (1:200; 10835-1-AP, proteintech); STC2 (1:200; 60063-1-Ig, proteintech) and Ki-67 (1:4000; 27309-1-AP; proteintech), followed by probing with a secondary antibody and mounting with Diaminobenzidine (DAB).
