Figure Lengend Snippet: A Boyden chamber transwell migration and invasion assays in H1299 cells transfected with EGFP-ACBD3 or EGFP-ACBD3 lacking the NUMB-binding domain (ΔNUMB). B Correlation between ACBD3, NUMB, NOTCHs, or NOTCH target genes mRNA levels and EMT scores. C Schema: The NOTCH luciferase reporter. CBF1/RBPJκ/Suppressor of Hairless/Lag-1 (CSL) response element (RE) is fused upstream of the firefly luciferase gene. NICD Notch intracellular domain, Graph luciferase reporter assay in H441 cells co-transfected with luciferase reporter and shACBD3 or NOTCH1 NICD. n = 4. D WB analysis of ACBD3 and EGFP-ACBD3 proteins in H1299 cells transfectants. E NOTCH luciferase reporter assay. F , G , I qPCR analysis of mRNA levels of ACBD3 and NOTCH target genes in shACBD3-tranfected H441 ( F ) and A549 ( G ), and ACBD3-transfected H1299 ( I ) cells. n = 4. H , J , K WB analysis of SNAI1 and ACBD3 protein levels in lung cancer cells transfected with shACBD3 ( H ), ACBD3 expression vector ( J ), or shACBD3 and SNAI1 siRNA ( K ). L , M Transwell migration ( L ) and apoptosis ( M ) assays of cell transfectants in ( K ). N Working model: ACDB3 inhibits the NOTCH-SNAI1 axis to suppress cancer cell motility and metastasis. Data indicate the mean ± SD from a single experiment incorporating biological replicate samples ( n = 3, unless otherwise indicated) and are representative of at least 2 independent experiments. P -values were determined using two-tailed Student’s t-test (for F , G , I ), one-way ANOVA test (for A , E , L , M ).
Article Snippet: NOTCH activity was assessed using the Notch1 Pathway Reporter Kit (#79503, BPS Bioscience) following the manufacturer’s instructions.
