Figure Lengend Snippet: A)ALKBH5‐FBXL5 axis decreased intracellular ROS and inhibited PI3K‐AKT and NF‐κB pathway activations to exert a cancer suppressor role in NSCLC. ALKBH5 overexpression and FBXL5 knockdown were performed in A549 cells and the opposite manipulation was performed in H226 cells, which was validated by western blot; B) ROS fluorescent probe staining and C) flow cytometric detection indicated decreased ROS levels by ALKBH5 overexpression, which was retrieved by FBXL5 knockdown in A549 cells, and opposite results were observed by in H226 cells with the corresponding manipulation; D) p‐AKT and p65, two key elements for PI3K and NF‐κB pathways activation, were downregulated by ALKBH5 overexpression, which could be reversed by FBXL5 downregulation in A549 cells. Conversely, PI3K and NF‐κB pathways could be activated by ALKBH5 downregulation, which was attenuated by FBXL5 upregulation in H226 cells; E,F) Colony formation and G,H) migration of A549 cells were inhibited by ALKBH5 overexpression but were retrieved by FBXL5 downregulation, and vice versa for the impact of ALKBH5‐FBXL5 axis on colony formation and migration in H226 cells I,J) Similarly, in vivo experiments demonstrated that FBXL5 was also indispensable for ALKBH5‐induced shrinkage of xenograft tumors constructed by A549 cells; K,L) IHC experiments of xenograft tumors for Ki‐67, PCNA, indicated less staining by ALKBH5 overexpression, which was partly restored in the presence of additional FBXL5 knockdown. HE was used as a background staining marker for NSCLC cells.
Article Snippet: Western blot was used to detect whether the impact of ALKBH5 on FBXL5 was dependent on potential m 6 A sites in the FBXL5 coding sequence (CDS) region and ALKBH5 H204 protein region, with FLAG and HA antibody (Proteintech, China).
