Fig. 3From: Downregulation of SMIM3 inhibits growth of leukemia via PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and correlates with prognosis of adult acute myeloid leukemia with normal karyotypeDownregulation of SMIM3 inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation in AML cells. The efficiency of SMIM3 knockdown in the Kasumi-1 and THP-1 cell lines was verified by A, B reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and E, F immune fluorescence, respectively. C, D Cell proliferation was detected by the CCK-8 assay in Kasumi-1 and THP-1. G, H The colony formation of SMIM3-CTRL and SMIM3-KD in Kasumi-1 and THP-1. CTRL, control; KD, knockdown; *P < 0.05 compared with CTRL cells; **P < 0.01 compared with CTRL cells; ***P < 0.001 compared with CTRL cells; Error bars indicate the standard deviationBack to article page
