Figure 6 IQGAP1 promoted the progression of cholangiocarcinoma by regulating MCM3.
A and B: TUNEL staining results and flow cytometry analysis showed that the cell apoptosis inhibited by overexpression (OE) of IQGAP1 could be restored by knocking down MCM3; C-G: HUCCT1 transfected with OE of IQGAP1 showed higher proliferative capacity compared with NC in cell counting kit-8, plate cloning, 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine, Transwell and wound healing tests which was restored when MCM3 was knocked down. aP < 0.001. NC: Negative control; OE: Overexpression; si: Silence; EdU: 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine; OD: Optical density.
