( A , B ) Merged phase-contrast and fluorescent imaging for GFP expression of ARPE-19 cells without ( A ) and with pCRISPR-LGALS3 transfection ( B ). ( C , D ) Immunostaining for galectin-3 of ARPE-19 ( C ) and ARPE-19/LGLAS3 +/− cells ( D ) after FACS and single-cell cultivation. ( E , F ) Phase-contrast image of ARPE-19 ( E ) and ARPE-19/LGLAS3 +/− cells ( F ). Magnification bar in ( A , B ) 100 µm; in ( C , D ) 20 µm, in ( E , F ) 100 µm; blue, Hoechst staining. ( G ) Western blot analysis for galectin-3 of ARPE-19 and ARPE-19/LGLAS3 +/− cells. ( H , I ) Galectin-3 concentration of conditioned cell culture medium ( H ) and cell lysate ( I ) from ARPE-19 and ARPE-19/LGLAS3 +/− cells after incubation in unsupplemented cell culture medium for 72 h.
