Smoc2 potentiates proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells via promotion of cell cycle progression

Figure 2 Western blot assay. A: Western blot assay showing that expression of Smoc2 in MHCC-97H cells and HCC-LM3 cells was inhibited by small interfering (si)RNA; B: Western blot assay showing that expression of Smoc2 in SMMC-7721 cells and Huh7 cells was significantly up-regulated by lentivirus transfection. Lenti-Smoc2 ha overexpression of Smoc2 by lentivirus transfection; lenti-vector was the negative control of lentivirus transfection; C: Immunofluorescence staining showing overexpression of Smoc2 in SMMC-7721 cells; DAPI was used for nucleus staining.
