Figure Lengend Snippet: Establishment and identification of ionizing radiation-resistant mouse TNBC 4T-1/IRR cells. (A) pAxl, Axl, pPI3K, PI3K, pAkt, Akt, mTOR, and PTEN expression in 4T-1 cells at different times following irradiation. (B) The construction process of 4T-1/IRR cells using a gradient irradiation method. The (C) colony formation rate and (D) viability of 4T-1/IRR cells was increased. (E) pAxl and Axl expression in 4T-1/IRR cells. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001, **** P<0.0001. NS, not significant; IRR, ionizing radiation resistance; TNBC, triple-negative breast cancer.
Article Snippet: Subsequently, the membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk, incubated with primary antibodies against pPI3K (cat. no. ab182651; 1:200; Abcam), PI3K (cat. no. ab191606; 1:1,000; Abcam), pAxl (cat. no. 96453; 1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), Axl (cat. no. ab215205; 1:1,000; Abcam), pAkt (cat. no. ab81283; 1:2,000; Abcam), Akt (cat. no. ab38499; 1:1,000; Abcam), mTOR (cat. no. ab2732; 1:2,000; Abcam), PTEN (cat. no. ab32199; 1:5,000; Abcam), or GAPDH (cat. no. ab8245; 1:2,000; Abcam), followed by incubation with the relevant horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (anti-Rabbit; cat. no. ab205718; anti-Mouse: cat. no. ab6789; Abcam).
