Figure 4From: Potential cancer-related role of circadian gene TIMELESS suggested by expression profiling and in vitro analyses MCF7 and HeLa cell proliferation rates were assessed at baseline, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours following transfection with a TIMELESS siRNA and a scrambled sequence negative control oligo. (A) Transfection with TIMELESS siRNA in MCF7 cells slowed down cell proliferation compared to negative controls (P < 0.05); (B) TIMELESS knockdown did not result in a significant reduction in cell proliferation rate in HeLa cells.
