Pretreatment TACC3 expression in locally advanced rectal cancer decreases the response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy
Figure 3. Effect of radiotherapy on cell proliferation, colony formation and apoptosis after knocking down of TACC3 in HCT116 and SW480 cells. (A) TACC3 protein expression in HCT116 and SW480 knockdown cells. (B, C) TACC3 knockdown increases the inhibitory effect of radiotherapy on HCT116 and SW480 cell proliferation measured in CCK-8 assays. (D, E) TACC3 Knockdown increases the induced inhibitory effect of radiotherapy on colony formation by HCT116 and SW480 cells. (F) TACC3 Knockdown the incidences of radiotherapy-induced early and late apoptosis among HCT116 cells, as measured using flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI double staining. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
