Low expression of KIF20A suppresses cell proliferation, promotes chemosensitivity and is associated with better prognosis in HCC
Figure 7. Effects of KIF20A knockdown on the HCC cell proliferation and capsase-3 and -9 activities. (A) qRT-PCR analysis of KIF20A mRNA expression in LO2, HepG2 and SK-Hep1 cells.
