Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of sHER3 on HER3 signalling, proliferation and migration of HCV-29 bladder cancer cells. (A) Western blotting analysis of p-HER3 (180 kDa) and t-HER3 (180 kDa) levels in HCV-29 cells treated with recombinant sHER3 peptide at the indicated concentrations: 0 (untreated control) 10 and 20 nM for 24 h. (B) xCELLigence data presenting the growth effect of recombinant sHER3 peptide on HCV-29 cells. Differences in cell density were normalised for at 0 h (the time of treatment, vertical black line). Significant differences (P<0.05) in cell proliferation were identified thorough-out, at and after 24 h treatment between cells treated with 20 nM sHER3 peptide compared with untreated cells. ***Denotes difference in control and treated cells at 96 h (P=0.0005), *denotes P<0.05. Data represent the mean ± standard error of the mean following three replicates. (C) xCELLigence data presenting the migration of HCV-29 cells at 24 h after HER3 treatment at the indicated concentrations, data represent the mean ± standard error of the mean following four replicates. Analysis of significance for overall group differences was performed by the Kruskal-Wallis test (P=0.0016). The multiple comparisons' criterion was employed to identify differences between groups and is indicated as *P<0.05 and **P<0.005. sHER3, soluble human epidermal growth factor receptor; p, phosphorylated; t, total
Article Snippet: A sandwich ELISA was developed employing monoclonal anti-human HER3 antibody (dilution, 1:1,000; catalogue no. MAB3481; R&D Systems Europe, Ltd., Abingdon, UK) as the capture antibody and the polyclonal goat anti-human HER3 antibody (dilution, 1:200; catalogue no. AF234; R&D Systems Europe, Ltd.) as the detection antibody.
Techniques: Migration, Western Blot, Recombinant, Control
