The CCK-8 and the AnnexinV/PI analyses together indicated that MAT2A depletion led to the impaired growth (Fig. 2A) and enhanced apoptosis (Fig. 2D) in MS751 cells under both normal and glucose deprivation conditions, revealing the promoting effect of MAT2A on growth of cervical cancer cells. The gene discussed is MAT2A; the disease is cervical cancer.
