Fig. 2: Knockdown of NPTX2 expression suppresses the viability, colony formation, and migration of CRC cells.

a The viability of SW480 and LoVo cells transfected with sh-NPTX2 or sh-control, as analyzed with CCK-8 assay (Student’s t test). b Colony-formation ability of SW480 and LoVo cells transfected with sh-NPTX2 or sh-control (Student’s t test). c Cell-migration ability of SW480 and LoVo cells transfected with sh-NPTX2 or sh-control (Student’s t test). d The viability of SW480 and LoVo cells transfected with vector or NPTX2-HA, as detected with CCK-8 assay (Student’s t test). e Colony-formation ability of SW480 and LoVo cells transfected with vector or NPTX2-HA (Student’s t test). f Cell-migration ability of SW480 and LoVo cells transfected with vector or NPTX2-HA (Student’s t test). All experiments were performed in triplicates. Measurement data were presented as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05
