Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Detection of Akt and β-catenin signals in H1299 parental or oncosphere cells by western blots. B. Detection of Akt and β-catenin signals in H1299 cells tranduced with control or CaMKIIγ vector by western blots. C. Detection of Akt and β-catenin signals in ZRLC-1 cells treated with DMSO, KN92, or KN93 by western blots. D. Detection of Oct4 and c-Myc in CaMKIIγ-overexpressed H1299 cells treated with Akt or β-catenin inhibitor by western blots. E. Lysates of CaMKIIγ-overexpressed A549 and H1299 cells were incubated with CaMKIIγ or Akt antibody for immunoprecipitation and the immune complex was then purified, separated by SDS-PAGE, and immunoblotted with Akt or CaMKIIγ antibody. F. Dual luciferase reporter assay of Wnt pathway (TOP, FOP, and the ratio of TOP/FOP) in control or CaMKIIγ-overexpressed H1299 cells. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of n = 4 independent cell dishes per condition. ** p < 0.01. G. Quantitative western blot analysis of oncosphere formation by control or CaMKIIγ-overexpressed A549 or H1299 cells treated with Akt or β-catenin inhibitor. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of n = 4 independent cell dishes per condition. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
