Figure Lengend Snippet: Anti-tumor effect and molecular mechanisms of PDCD5 on breast cancer cells. A. Proliferation of human, rat, and mouse breast cancer cells with DKK3 treatment was measured using the MTT assay. B. Changes of β-catenin, p-β-catenin, p-AKT, and p-mTOR in PDCD5-treated breast cancer cells and their parental cells were studied using western blotting. C. Stemness regulatory transcription factors, SOX2, Nanog, C-myc and Oct4, in PDCD5-treated breast cancer cells and their parental cells were studied using RNA sequencing.
Article Snippet: Recombinant DKK3 protein treatment Cells were treated with recombinant human DKK3 (hDKK3, 200 ng/ml), rat DKK3 (rDKK3, 200 ng/ml) or mouse DKK3 (mDKK3, 200 ng/ml) (Creative BioMart, Shirley, NY) for 24 hours.
Techniques: MTT Assay, Western Blot, RNA Sequencing
