Fig. 2From: SOSTDC1 is down-regulated in non-small cell lung cancer and contributes to cancer cell proliferationEctopic over-expression of SOSTDC1 inhibits the proliferation of NSCLC cells. a Protein expression of SOSTDC1 in A549 and H520 cells was analyzed by Western blotting assay. α-tubulin was used as a loading control. b MTT assay was conducted to investigate the effect of SOSTDC1 on the proliferation of indicated cells at the indicated time points. c and d Representative micrographs (c) and relative quantification (d) of colony formation assays of indicated cells. e Representative images of anchorage-independent colonies formed by SOSTDC1-over-expressed cells. f Relative quantification of EdU incorporation assays. For b, d, and f, results are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3), *p < 0.05Back to article page
