Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. MTA1 promotes the malignant phenotype of CRC via binding with ATP5A. A) The proliferation of MTA1-OE and control HCT116 cells treated with 2.5 mm oligomycin. The values are the mean ± SD (****p < 0.0001), two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, n = 2 replicate per group. B,C) The colony formation ability of MTA1-OE and control HCT116 cells treated with 2 μm oligomycin for 10 days. The values are the mean ± SD (***p < 0.001; ns, not significant), two-way ANOVA, Sidak’s multiple comparisons test, n = 3 replicate/group. D,E) The invasion of MTA1-OE and control HCT116 cells treated with 2 μm oligomycin for 48 h. The values are the mean ± SD (**p < 0.01; ns, not significant), two-way ANOVA, Sidak’s multiple comparisons test, n = 3 replicate/group. Scale bar: 100 μm. F) Western blotting was performed to verify that ATP5A was knocked down in MTA1-OE and control HCT116 cells, and the expression of metastasis related markers in MTA1-OE/ATP5A-KD HCT116 cells. G–I) The proliferation (G) and invasion (H,I) of MTA1-OE/ATP5A-KD and control HCT116 cells. The cells were incubated in transwell plates for 48 h. The values are the mean ± SD (****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant), two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, n = 3 replicate/group. Scale bar: 200 μm. J,K) The ECAR (J) and OCR (K) of MTA1-OE/ATP5A-KD and control HCT116 cells. The values are the mean ± SD (****p < 0.0001, ***p<0.001, and *p<0.05), two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. L) Representative image of the liver metastatic burden in BALB/c-nu/nu mice injected with MTA1-OE/ATP5A-KD and control cells via the spleen tail. The group names are shown in (M); n = 3 mice/group. M) The liver weight of mice with liver metastasis shown in (L). The values are the mean ± SD (*p < 0.05; ns, not significant), one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
