Figure Lengend Snippet: IL25 upregulated GLI1 by inhibiting p-AMPK. (A) HT-29 cells were treated with cycloheximide (CHX, 50 μg/ml) for the indicated time, and cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting with the indicated antibodies. (B) Western blotting of p-AMPK and AMPK in the WT and IL25KO AOM/DSS-induced tumor tissue. (C) The expression levels of GLI1, p-AMPK, and AMPK were examined in HT-29 and SW620 cells treated with recombinant IL25 in a time-dependent manner by Western blotting. (D, E) Western blotting of GLI1, p-AMPK, and AMPK in SW620 cells treated with AMPK activator A769662 and Metformin following IL25 treatment. (F) GLI1 expression was detected by immunofluorescence staining in SW620 cells treated with AMPK activator Metformin following IL25 treatment. (G) SW620 cells were treated with 10 μM MG132 and then incubated with or without 50 ng/ml recombinant IL25 and 1 mM Metformin, then immunoprecipitated with GLI1 antibody. GLI1 ubiquitination was determined using an anti-ubiquitin antibody. IP, immunoprecipitation. (H) Sphere formation analysis of SW620 cells treated with AMPK activator Metformin following IL25 treatment. Representative images (left) and the mean numbers and sphere size (right) of spheres are shown. Data present as mean ± SEM; * p <0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: For IL25 immunohistochemistry, slides of various tissues were blocked with goat serum for 1 h. Subsequently, the slides were incubated with the following primary antibodies: IL25 (1:200; Novus Biologicals, NB100-56541) and LGR5 (1:100; Abcam, ab75732) antibody overnight at 4°C following incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature and then stained with the DAB Horseradish Peroxidase Color Development Kit.
