Figure Lengend Snippet: PLOD2 overexpression could activate the Wnt signaling pathway. a The mRNA levels of downstream genes of the Wnt signaling pathway(c-myc, CD44, Snail, TCF4, and MMP-2) were upregulated by PLOD2. β-Actin was used as an internal control. b Dual luciferase assay showing the effect on TOP/FOP reporter activity in LSCC cells following the overexpression and silencing of PLOD2. c Immunoblot assay of c-myc, β-catenin, MDR-1, and MRP protein levels in LSCC cells transfected with PLOD2 and controls. GAPDH was used as an internal control
