N1, N12-Diacetylspermine Is Elevated in Colorectal Cancer and Promotes Proliferation through the miR-559/CBS Axis in Cancer Cell Lines

CBS promotes proliferation in CRC cells. (a) Western blots showed that transfection of a CBS plasmid upregulated its protein levels in both SW480 and Caco-2 cell lines. RT-qPCR showed that CBS transfection upregulated its endogenous mRNA levels. (b) The CCK-8 assay showed that CBS overexpression significantly increased growth in both SW480 and Caco-2 cell lines ( CBS plasmid vs. control plasmid). (c) Cell cycle analyses showed that CBS overexpression increased the S phase population and decreased the G1 phase population in both SW480 and Caco-2 cell lines ( CBS plasmid vs. control plasmid). (d) The ATP production assay showed that CBS overexpression increased the ATP production in both SW480 and Caco-2 cell lines ( CBS plasmid vs. control plasmid).
