    OriGene negative control sirna
    ( A, B ) G3BP1 was transiently silenced with <t>siRNA,</t> or not; cells were then serum-starved and stimulated with PDGF-BB, as indicated. Activation of PDGFR, STAT1, ERK1/2, AKT, PLCγ, and STAT3 signaling pathways was determined by immunoblotting for phosphorylated and total amounts of the signaling proteins. The experiments were repeated four times.

    (A–F) After transient silencing of G3BP1 with siRNA, or not, and serum starvation overnight, AG01523 cells were stimulated with PDGF-BB for 1 h (black bars) or left unstimulated (0 h, gray bars). mRNA expression of G3BP1 ( A ), STAT3 ( B ), STAT1 ( C ), FOS ( D ), MYC ( E ), and CCND1 (cyclin D1) ( F ) is presented relative to the expression of control gene HPRT . Statistical analysis was performed on four independent repeats using Student’s t -test. *, P- value <0.05; **, P <0.01. The experiments were repeated six times.

    ( A ) G3BP1 was knocked down by siRNA, or not, in AG01523 fibroblasts. Cells were then grown in medium containing 1% FBS and increasing concentrations of PDGF-BB. The amount of DNA and, therefore, the proliferation rate was determined by measuring absorption of fluorescently labeled DNA-intercalating dye using the CyQuant assay. The experiments were repeated three times. ( B ) Schematic illustration of the findings of the study. G3BP1 acts as a co-activator of PDGF-BB-induced activation of STAT3 and as a co-repressor of the transcription of cyclin D1 and STAT1 due to its association with the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex.
