Figure Lengend Snippet: TNFSF9 promotes the migration of pancreatic cancer cells by activating the Wnt/Snail signaling pathway. ( A–C ) Western blot analysis the expression of Wnt, β-catenin, AKT, p-AKT, JNK, p-JNK, NF-ΚB, p-NF-ΚB, ERK p-ERK, Snail, Src and FAK in BXPC-3 and PANC-1 cells after knockdown of TNFSF9. Compared with the sh-NC group, the expression of Wnt, β-catenin, AKT, p-AKT, JNK, p-JNK, NF-ΚB, p-NF-ΚB and Snail in the sh-TNFSF9-1 and sh-TNFSF9-2 groups is significantly reduced. The expression of ERK, p-ERK, Src and FAK did not change. ( D , E ) The expression of Wnt, β-catenin, and Snail increased after the addition of Wnt agonist in TNFSF9 knockdown pancreatic cancer, but the expression of TNFSF9 did not change. ( F , G ) Increased migration of TNFSF9 knockdown pancreatic cancer cells after the addition of Wnt agonist. sh-1 is sh-TNFSF9-1. sh-2 is sh-TNFSF9-2. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 and # P < 0.001.
Article Snippet: Then, 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) was used for electrophoresis, and the protein was transferred to polyvinylidene (PVDF) and sealed with 5% skimmed milk for 1 h. It was then incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: GAPDH (1:10000, ProteinTech), TNFSF9 (1:2000, ProteinTech), β-catenin (1:1000, ProteinTech), Wnt (1:1000, Wanleibio), ERK (1:500, Wanleibio), phosphorylated-ERK (1:1000, Santa), JNK (1:1000, Wanleibio), phosphorylated-JNK (1:1000, Wanleibio), AKT (1:1000, Santa), phosphorylated-AKT (1:1000, Santa), NF-ΚB (1:1000, Wanleibio), phosphorylated-NF-ΚB (1:1000, Wanleibio), Snail (1:1500, Wanleibio), focal adhesion kinase (FAK) (1:2000, ProteinTech), proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src (Src) (1:800, ProteinTech), IL-6 (1:5000, Wanleibio), IL-8 (1:1000, Wanleibio), TNF-α (1:1000, Santa), E-cadherin (ProteinTech, 1:10000), N-cadherin (ProteinTech, 1:3000), and Vimentin (ProteinTech, 1:2000).
