The results showed that the growth of overexpressed NGFR–transfected CRC cells was significantly inhibited compared to empty vector–transfected DLD1 (vector vs. NGFR: 0.506 ± 0.028 vs. 0.263 ± 0.008, P < 0.01) and HCT8 cells (vector vs. NGFR: 0.376 ± 0.040 vs. 0.150 ± 0.033, P < 0.001; Figures 1B, D). This evidence concerns the gene NGFR and colorectal carcinoma.
