NCOA5 and colorectal carcinoma: As shown in Figure 3A, the growth curves in the SW620-shNCOA5 2# and SW620-shNCOA5 3# groups were much lower than that in the shNTC-transduced control group (SW620-shNCOA5 2#, P<0.05 at day 1, 2 and 3, and P<0.01 at day 4; SW620-shNCOA5 3#, P<0.05 at day 1 and 2, and P<0.01 at day 3 and 4), showing that lentivirus-mediated NCOA5 knockdown obviously suppresses SW620 CRC cell growth in a time-dependent manner.
