Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. IAA activated AHR to regulated mucin sulfation. (a) The relative mRNA expression levels of Papss2, Slc35b3, and GlcNAc6st2 in LS174T cells by quantitative RT-PCR. (b) The relative mRNA expression levels of Papss2, Slc35b3, and GlcNAc6st2 in HT-29 cells by quantitative RT-PCR. (c) Molecular docking analysis of IAA binding on the ligand-binding domain of AHR protein. The binding energy is −5.246 kcal/mol. (d) Immunostaining images of HT-29 cells stained for DAPI (blue), AHR (red), and merge. Scale bars: 50 µm. *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001, ****p < .0001.
Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked for 1 h with 10% nonfat milk, and then primary antibodies against Papss2 (1:500, sc -100,801, Santa Cruz), and β-actin (1:1000, Cat#mAb3700, CST) were added for 12 h at 4°C, followed by HRP-linked anti-mouse IgG (1:5000, Cat#7076, CST) for 1 h. Using the ImageJ software, the intensities of protein bands were measured and the values were adjusted to β-actin.
