Article Title: Integrated Molecular Profiling of Human Gastric Cancer Identifies DDR2 as a Potential Regulator of Peritoneal Dissemination
doi: 10.1038/srep22371
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) DDR2 expression was suppressed in 58As9Luc cells by 2 independent shRNAs. ( b ) DDR2 knockdown resulted in lower cell proliferation on collagen I-coated 96-well plates, but did not affect cell proliferation on normal plates. ( c , d ) Effects of DDR2 on ( c ) cancer cell migration and ( d ) invasion. ( e ) DDR2-knockdown 58As9Luc cells were orthotopically transplanted into the stomach walls of nude mice. ( f , g ) The normalized weight of gastric wall tumors ( f ) and the number of disseminated metastatic tumors ( g ) at 28 days post-transplantation with 58As9Luc cells with silenced DDR2 expression. Control, DDR2 sh#1, and sh#2: n = 8. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
Article Snippet: For antigen retrieval, tissue sections were deparaffinized and boiled in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer in a microwave for 10 minutes at 500 W. A rabbit polyclonal antibody against DDR2 (H-108, 1:100 dilution; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) and a mouse monoclonal antibody against E-cadherin (36/E-Cadherin, 1:100 dilution; BD Bioscience) were used as primary antibodies.
