RETRACTED: Kinesin Family Member 18A (KIF18A) Contributes to the Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Lung Adenocarcinoma Cells In Vitro and In Vivo

Figure 3

KIF18A promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro. (a) A549 and H1975 cells transfected with control or KIF18A shRNA, and the proliferation capacity was quantified by colony number through colony formation assays. (b) The OD value generated by MTT assays showed the inhibition of cell proliferation caused by KIF18A ablation. (c) KIF18A depletion resulted in the lower migration degree in A549 and H1975 cells. Photographs showed that at 0- and 24-hour time points, migrated cells were present. (d) Transwell assays using both A549 and H1975 human lung adenocarcinoma cells transfected with control or KIF18A shRNA plasmids, and the degree of invasion was quantified by the invasion cell number. Results are presented as the ; .
