To confirm the inhibitory effect of STAT1 on CRC cells, we constructed a cell line (HCT116‐STAT1‐OE) in which STAT1 was stably overexpressed by lentiviral infection; cells transduced with the lentiviral vector encoding the empty pLVX‐IRES‐ZsGreen1 cassette were used as the control (HCT116‐Plvx). This evidence concerns the gene STAT1 and colorectal carcinoma.
