We further analysed the anchorage-independent growth of EPHB4-MUT by colony formation assay in soft agar. EPHB4-V871I showed an increased number of colonies compared with WT and EV in both cell lines (Figure 4B).
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC7294133 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 13
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional
Justification: Oncogenic: The variant EPHB4-V871I is associated with increased anchorage-independent growth, indicating its contribution to tumor development or progression as demonstrated by the colony formation assay. Functional: The passage describes the effect of the EPHB4-V871I variant on cellular behavior, specifically its impact on colony formation, which suggests an alteration in molecular or biochemical function.
