Article Title: p53 and ΔNp63 Transcriptional Programs in Coordination With TGF‐β1 and RAS Activation Regulate HAS2 and HAS3 in Epithelial Cells
doi: 10.1002/pgr2.70015
Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 3 | Opposite effect of TGF‐β1 stimulation on HAS2 and HAS3 mRNA expression after mutant p53 knockdown. (A–C) HaCaT cells were stimulated with TGF‐β1 (5 ng/mL for 24 h), after which mRNA was prepared and subjected to qRT‐PCR for HAS2 (A), HAS3 (B) and p53 (C). (D) Hyaluronan secreted to the conditioned media of HaCaT cells in which p53 was knocked down, or not, was determined after non‐stimulation or stimulation with TGF‐β1 or 10% FBS. (E) p53‐null H1299 cells were transfected with p53 WT, as well as with p53 mutants (R175H and R273H). Data are means ± SD; n = 3 experiments; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by Students t‐test.
Article Snippet: The membranes were incubated at 4°C overnight with antibodies against HAS2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc‐ 514737), HAS3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc‐34204), tubulin (Sigma Aldrich, T5168), p53 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc‐ 6243), or p63 (Abcam, ab124762), followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, and development by chemiluminescence (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA).
