Figure 4. ALG10 knockdown attenuated the chemoresistance of CRC cells in vitro. (A and B) ALG10 mRNA and protein levels were examined in HCT-116 and HCT-116-OR cells. (C and D) The mRNA and protein levels of stemness markers were detected in HCT-116 and HCT-116-OR cells. (E and F) Sphere size and number were determined in HCT-116 and HCT-116-OR cells. (G) CD133+ subpopulation was evaluated in HCT-116 and HCT-116-OR cells. (H) ALDH activity was measured in HCT-116 and HCT-116-OR cells. (I) The IC50 value of oxaliplatin was calculated in HCT-116-OR cells. (J) The IC50 value of oxaliplatin was measured in HCT-116-OR-ALG-kd cells. n = 3, **P < 0.01 vs. Control.
