Celigo assays have been performed and results showed that knockdown of SYT7 markedly suppressed the proliferation of HNSCC cells in vitro (Fig. 4A, B, E, F), while SYT7-ΔNp63α double knockdown could partially rescue this phenotype (Fig. 4C, D, G, H). The gene discussed is SYT7; the disease is head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
