Figure Lengend Snippet: a. Foxo1 and Foxo3 expression in doxycycline treated shLuc and shFoxo1/3 organoids by qPCR (mean± SEM, n=4) (see also for protein expression). b. Western blot analysis of shluc and shFoxo1/3 organoids, VINCULIN and GAPDH are used as loading controls (representative for n=3). c. Gene expression analysis of shLuc organoids by qPCR and normalized by the non-treated condition (mean± SEM, n=3-5. ANOVA and Dunns multiple comparison test). d. Representative images of doxycycline treated shLuc and shFoxo1/3 organoids cultured in WENR medium (scale bar= 500 AU) and quantification of their perimeter (one representative experiment of 3, each dot represents one organoid, ANOVA and Dunn’s multiple comparison test) e. Flow cytometry gating strategy for quantification of live PCs. f. lmmunohistochemistry of crypts of Villlin-g Cre-;Fox01,3,4L/L and Villin-Cre+ Fox0 1,3,4L/L mice. Proliferative cells are marked by BrdU positive staining.
Article Snippet: Western blot analysis was performed with primary antibodies recognizing: GAPDH (Millipore MAB374), vinculin (Sigma V9131), FOXO1 (Cell Signaling 2880), FOXO3 (Novus Biologicals NB100614), lysozyme (Dako A0099), Tubulin (Millipore CP06 OS), Fis1 (SC376469 Santa Cruz), Cleaved Notch1 (Val1744) (Cell Signaling 4147), OLFM4 (Cell Signaling 39141), Secondary HRP-conjugated antibodies targeting mouse and rabbit IgG were purchased from Biorad.
