Effects of SOX9 on cycle and apoptosis of colorectal cancer cells a the cell cycle was assessed by flow cytometry, the number of cells in G1 phase was the most in the si-SOX9 group and was the least in pcDNA3.1-SOX9 group, the si-SOX9 + miR-145 inhibitor group was comparative to the NC group. b The apoptosis rate which measured by flow cytometry of pcDNA3.1-SOX9 group was the highest, si-SOX9 + miR-145 inhibitor group and NC group took the second place, and si-SOX9 group had the lowest apoptosis rate. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, compared with NC group
