Fig. 3From: Upregulation of CCT3 predicts poor prognosis and promotes cell proliferation via inhibition of ferroptosis and activation of AKT signaling in lung adenocarcinomaCCT3 promotes the growth and cell cycle progression of LUAD cells. A H1975 cells were infected with Ctrl and CCT3 overexpression lentivirus. qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis of CCT3 in Ctrl and CCT3 overexpressed H1975 cells. GAPDH is the internal control. **p < 0.01. The blots were cut prior to hybridisation with antibodies during blotting. B Ctrl and CCT3 overexpressed H1975 cells were subjected to CCK8 analysis of cell proliferation. *p < 0.05. C Colony formation analysis was performed on Ctrl and CCT3 overexpressed H1975 cells. *p < 0.05. D qRT-PCR analysis of Ki-67 and PCNA in Ctrl and CCT3 overexpressed H1975 cells. GAPDH is the internal control. *p < 0.05. E H2228 cells were infected shCtrl, shCCT3#1 and shCCT3#2 knockdown lentivirus. qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis of CCT3 in shCtrl, shCCT3#1 and shCCT3#2 H2228 cells. GAPDH is the internal control. *p < 0.05. The blots were cut prior to hybridisation with antibodies during blotting. F shCtrl, shCCT3#1 and shCCT3#2 H2228 cells were subjected to CCK8 analysis of cell proliferation. *p < 0.05. G Colony formation analysis was performed on shCtrl, shCCT3#1 and shCCT3#2 H2228 cells. *p < 0.05. H qRT-PCR analysis of Ki-67 and PCNA in shCtrl, shCCT3#1 and shCCT3#2 H2228 cells. GAPDH is the internal control. *p < 0.05. I Cell cycle was analyzed by PI staining in Ctrl and CCT3 overexpressed H1975 cells. Left, representative images of cell cycle. Right, quantification of cell cycle. *p < 0.05. J qRT-PCR analysis of cyclin D1 in Ctrl and CCT3 overexpressed H1975 cells. GAPDH is the internal control. **p < 0.01. K Cell cycle was analyzed by PI staining in shCtrl, shCCT3#1 and shCCT3#2 H2228 cells. Left, representative images of cell cycle. Right, quantification of cell cycle. *p < 0.05.
