Article Title: A cascade via CD276/PI3K/SIRT1/E-Cad in overcoming contact inhibition of proliferation in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

doi: 10.3892/mco.2026.2941

Figure Lengend Snippet: SIRT1 acts as a downstream regulator of CD276 in mediating E-Cad. (A) The expression of SIRT1 was analyzed by western blotting in HepLi5, SNU-449 and 3B cell lines under sparse or confluent conditions. (B) The expression of SIRT1 in 449-OX cells was analyzed by western blotting under three conditions: sparse, confluent, and confluent with additional treatment of LY294002. (C) The expression of SIRT1 was analyzed by western blotting in 3B-KD cells under sparse and confluent conditions. 3B, Hep 3B2.1-7; 449-OX, CD276-ovexpressing SNU-449 cells; Li5, HepLi5; 449, SNU-449; 3B, Hep 3B2.1-7; S, sparse cultures; C, confluent cultures; LY, LY294002; si-NC, small interfering-negative control; 3B-KD, CD276-knockdown Hep 3B2.1-7 cells.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Immunocytochemistry (ICC) analysis demonstrates strong B7-H3 (CD276) expression on both PC-3 cancer cells and pCAFs, visualized by red fluorescence. B. In 2D co-culture assays, anti-B7-H3 CAR T cells exhibit antigen-specific cytotoxicity against PC-3 cells, with killing efficiency increasing across graded effector-to-target (E:T) ratios.

Article Snippet: Primary human anti–B7-H3 antibody (AF1027, R&D Systems) was diluted in cold staining buffer (0.5 μg/μL; 2 μL per 100 μL reaction volume) and applied to cells for 20–30 min at 4 °C.
