Figure Lengend Snippet: TRIM72 suppresses EMT progression of colorectal cancer cells by attenuating FAK/Akt signaling pathway. (A) Western blot assay was used to determine the expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin, in SW480 colon cancer cells overexpressing TRIM72, or control plasmid. Quantitation of relevant protein levels were shown in right pane (n.s., not significant; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; n = 3). (B) Western blot assay was used to determine the expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin in HCT116 TRIM72 knockout or control cells. Quantitation of relevant protein levels were shown in right pane (n.s., not significant; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; n = 3). (C) Circulating tumor cells were isolated from colon cancer patients, and the expression of TRIM72, vimentin and other marker was determined using immunofluorescence. (D) Co-immunoprecipitation of TRIM72 and FAK proteins in two colon cancer cells, SW480 and HCT116. (E) Western blot assay was used to determine the expression of FAK, AKT, and p-AKT in TRIM72 overexpression cells treated with or without mg132. (F) 293T cells were co-transfected with Myc-FAK, Myc-TRIM72, Ub-Ha as shown for 24 h and subsequently treated with or without MG132 for 12 h. The cells were lysed and subjected to IP with anti-Myc-conjugated beads. The immunoprecipitated proteins were subjected to western analysis using the indicated antibodies.
