Figure Lengend Snippet: SiSTAT4 decreased STAT4 expression, while overexpressed STAT4 did conversely in transfected HL60 and NB4 cells. (a) The expression of STAT4 in HL60 cells after transfection was examined by qPCR, and GAPDH was used as the loading gene. (b) The expression of STAT4 in HL60 cells after transfection was examined by Western blot, and GAPDH was adopted as the internal control. (c) The expression of STAT4 in NB4 cells after transfection was examined by qPCR, and GAPDH was employed as a loading gene. (d) The expression of STAT4 in NB4 cells after transfection was examined by Western blot, and GAPDH was utilized as the internal control. (e) The expression of STAT4 in HL60 cells after transfection was examined by qPCR, and GAPDH was harnessed as the reference gene. (f) The expression of STAT4 in HL60 cells after transfection was measured by Western blot, and GAPDH was exploited as the internal control. (g) The expression of STAT4 in NB4 cells after transfection was quantified by qPCR, and GAPDH was applied as the reference gene. (h) The expression of STAT4 in NB4 cells after transfection was determined by Western blot, and GAPDH was adopted as the loading control. *** P < 0.001 vs siNC; ^^^ P < 0.001 vs NC (NC: negative control, siSTAT4: siRNA targeting STAT4, siNC: negative control of siSTAT4).
Article Snippet: Human AML cell lines including HL60 (CL-0110), KG1 (CL-0132), Kasumi-1 (CL-0556), and NB4 (CL-0676) were purchased from Procell (Wuhan, China), and normal bone marrow cell line HS-5 (CRL-11882) was ordered from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; Maryland, USA).
