Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2 Down regulation of MMP-7 expression inhibited the cancer cells’ growth and colony formation. a By MTT assay, LV-MMP- 7shRNA3 cells disclosed a significant decreaseinproliferation compared with LV-con and WT SW480 cell cells (*P \ 0.05, ANOVA and LSD test). b Colony formation assay further revealed LV-MMP-7shRNA3 cells had lower positive colony formation than LV-con and WT cells (*P\ 0.05, ANOVA and LSD test). There was no significant difference between LV-con and untreated cell groups (*P [ 0.05, ANOVA and LSD test). Data shown represent at least three independent experiments
Article Snippet: Cell culture Human colon cancer cell line SW480 and 293 T cells were purchased from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) and maintained in DMEM medium (Genom BioMed Technology, Inc. Hangzhou, China) supplemented with 2 % penicillin–streptomycin, 1.5 mM L-glutamine, 2 % NaHCO3 and 10 % fetal bovine serum in a humidified atmosphere of 5 % CO2 at 37 C. Lentivirus-mediated RNA interference We designed and cloned a shRNA template into a thirdgeneration self-inactivating lentivirus vector containing a CMV-driven GFP reporter and a U6 promoter upstream of the cloning restriction sites (HpaI and XhoI).
Techniques: Expressing, MTT Assay, Colony Assay
