BMAL1 and colorectal carcinoma: BMAL1 expression was knocked down in RKO and SW480 CRC cell lines (RKO/sh‐BMAL1 and SW480/sh‐BMAL1) and the BMAL1‐overexpressing cell lines (RKO/BMAL1, SW480/BMAL1, and HCT116/BMAL1) were also constructed, thereby modulating different cellular activities, such as apoptosis, proliferation, cell cycle, and metastasis.
