Figure Lengend Snippet: Acidic microenvironment condition screening and LAMC2 expression validation. (A) Comparison of relative LAMC2 expression levels in different cell lines (BEAS-2B, HCC827, and A549), showing a significantly higher expression in HCC827 and A549 cells compared to BEAS-2B cells. (B) Changes in LAMC2 expression in HCC827 and A549 cells under different lactate (LA) concentrations (10, 20, and 30 mM), showing significant increases in LAMC2 expression at 20 and 30 mM concentrations. (C) Changes in LAMC2 expression over time (0, 6, 12, and 24 h) in HCC827 and A549 cells treated with 20 mM LA, showing a significant increase in expression with longer treatment times. (D) Changes in LAMC2 expression under different acidic environment conditions (high LA, hydrochloric-acid-induced acidosis, and control groups) in HCC827 and A549 cells, with a significantly higher expression in the high LA and hydrochloric-acid-induced acidosis groups. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
