Figure Lengend Snippet: Generation of PCDHGC3 knockout in breast cancer and melanoma cell lines. Western blot analysis of wild type (WT), control (C; transfected with the PCDH2 HDR Plasmid (h2) containing a puromycin resistance gene) and knockout (KO) HCC1806 breast cancer cell line ( a ) and A2058 melanoma cell line ( b ). β-Actin served as an endogenous control.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Relative adhesion of PCDHGC3 knockout breast cancer and melanoma cells to human in vitro BBB models. Adhesion measurements of HCC1806 PCDHGC3 knockout (KO) and control cells to hCMEC/D3 ( a ) and BLECs ( b ) after 30, 60, and 120 min. Adhesion measurements of A2058 PCDHGC3 knockout (KO) and control cells to hCMEC/D3 ( c ) and BLECs ( d ) after 30, 60, and 120 min. Control cell adhesion was measured at each time point; however, for clarity, only the measurement after 30 min is shown. Data are presented as mean relative adhesion versus control with standard deviation, **** = p ≤ 0.0001, one-way ANOVA test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: PCDHGC3 KO leads to stronger invasion of PCDHGC3 knockout breast cancer and melanoma cells. HCC1806 PCDHGC3 knockout (KO) and control cells ( a ) and A2058 PCDHGC3 knockout (KO) and control ( b ) invaded for 48 h through Transwells coated with Matrigel. The number of invaded cells is shown. Data are presented as mean cell number with standard deviation, * = p ≤ 0.05, unpaired t -test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Relative expression of target genes in PCDHGC3 KO breast cancer and melanoma cells. The relative expression (RQ value) of each target in PCDHGC3 KO HCC1806 ( a ) and PCDHGC3 KO A2058 ( b ) cells relative to control cells is shown. A RQ value < 1.0 indicates decreased expression, a RQ value > 1.0 indicates increased expression compared to the control cells. The means with standard deviation are shown as the fold of the control. * = p ≤ 0.05, ** = p ≤ 0.01, *** = p ≤ 0.001, **** = p ≤ 0.0001, unpaired t -test.
