Figure Lengend Snippet: TMED3 regulated proliferation and promoted apoptosis in DU145 cells. (A) TMED3 protein levels in normal human prostate cells and prostate cancer cells were determined by western blotting. DU145 cells were infected with a lentivirus to silence TMED3 expression, and shCtrl was used as a scrambled control. (B) Cytotoxicity at different time points was determined by performing the CCK-8 assay. (C) A representative scatter plot of PI + Annexin V + and PI − Annexin V + DU145 cells by flow cytometry. (D) The proportions of DU145 cells at different stages of apoptosis (early apoptosis, late apoptosis, and total apoptosis) by flow cytometry. (E and F) The cell cycle (G1, S, and G2 phases) of DU145 cells was determined by flow cytometry. ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: The human prostate cancer cell line DU145 without mycoplasma was obtained from Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd. DU145 cells were cultured using DMEM with 10% FBS, penicillin and streptomycin under 5% CO 2 at 37 °C.
