Article Title: Knockdown of ROS proto-oncogene 1 inhibits migration and invasion in gastric cancer cells by targeting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway

doi: 10.2147/OTT.S213421

Figure Lengend Snippet: ROS1 knockdown suppresses invasion and EMT of gastric cancer cells. The cells in the three groups were subjected to total protein extraction. The expression of EMT-related markers, including E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin, was measured by Western blotting. The results were shown as mean±SD. ** P <0.01 versus the shCtr group.

Article Snippet: After blocking, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against ROS1 (1:500, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China), cleaved-caspase-3 (1:1000, Abcam, Cambridge Science Park, Cambridge, UK), Bcl-2 (1:400, BOSTER, Wuhan, China), Bax (1:400, BOSTER), cleaved-PARP (1:1000, Abcam), E-cadherin (1:400, BOSTER), Vimentin (1:500, BIOSS, Beijing, China), N-cadherin (1:400, BOSTER), p-PI3K (1:500, BIOSS), PI3K (1:400, BOSTER), p-Akt (1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas, USA) and Akt (1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at 4°C overnight.

Figure Lengend Snippet: In vitro targeting ability and anti-cancer evaluation. (A) CLSM images of thrombin-activated and non-activated platelets treated with FMPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX or MPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX for 30 min. In the case of competitive assay, thrombin-activated platelets were pretreated with Anti-CD62P antibody for 30 min. (B) CLSM images of LM3 cells treated with FMPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX or MPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX for 1 h or 6 h, respectively. In the case of competitive assay, LM3 cells were pretreated with Anti-CD62P antibody for 30 min. (C) CLSM images of LM3 cells after incubating with FMPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX or MPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX for 1 h, in the presence of absence of the activated platelets. (D) The cell viability of LM3 cells treated with free DOX, MPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX or FMPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX at different DOX dose for 48 h. (E) The cell viability of LM3 cells treated with different concentrations of FMPDA/Gd 3+ or FMPDA/Gd 3+ /DOX for 12 h, followed by the treatment with or without NIR irradiation (2 W/cm 2 , 5 min) and then incubation for another 2 h. (F) The fluorescent images of survival LM3 cells in different treatment groups (MPDA= 80 µg/ml). (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P <0.0001, n = 5).

doi: 10.1016/j.ajps.2022.08.004

Figure Lengend Snippet: In this work, FMDA/Gd 3+ /DOX was prepared for enhanced cancer theranostics. Due to the specific binding ability between fucoidan and p-selectin, this novel theranostic agent could effectively accumulate into tumor site by simultaneously targeting to the activated paltelets and tumor cells, thereby resulting in an enhanced MRI-guided chemo-photothermal combination therapy of HCC.
