doi: 10.1093/carcin/bgz188
Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of ISOC1 knockdown on the biological function of colon cancer cells are rescued by UCN01. Further verification of the mechanism of ISOC1 in colon cancer cells. The protein level of p-STAT Tyr 701 in colon cancer cell nuclei was increased by ISOC1 knockdown. ( A ) MTS assays. ( B ) Transwell migration assays. ( C ) Cell apoptosis assay. ( D ) Western blot assay. The protein level of p-GSK-3β Ser 9 was upregulated by overexpression of p-AKT Thr 308 . AKT Δ-Thr308 : p-AKT Thr 308 deletion plasmid. AKT P-Thr308 : p-AKT Thr 308 activation plasmid. ( E ) Western blot assay. The protein levels of c-Myc, MMP2 and MMP9 were significantly reduced by ISOC1 knockdown. ( F ) Confocal microscopy and western blot analysis of p-STAT1 Tyr 701 nuclear localization. Green signals represent cells infected with lentiviruses. DNA was visualized with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (blue). Western blot analysis showed that the protein levels of p-STAT1 Tyr 701 were increased in the shISOC1 group compared to the shCtrl group. The error bars represent the standard deviation. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
