Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2. Tns2 suppresses the Wnt/β-catenin activity and nuclear translocation of β-catenin. (A)TNS2 KD increases Wnt/β-catenin activity in Colo201 cells, as detected by the TOPFlash luciferase assay (n=6). (B) Tns2 overexpression decreases Wnt/β-catenin activity in HCT116 cells, as detected by the TOPFlash luciferase assay (n=6). (C) β-catenin level was similar between the whole cell lysates of HCT116-Tns2 cells and control cells. (D) Tns2 overexpression decreased the nuclear translocation of β-catenin in HCT116 cells, as detected by immunofluorescence (Control: n=221, Tns2: n=117). White arrows indicate the position of the nucleus. Values are means ± SD. *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
Article Snippet: Human CRC cell lines Colo201, SW620, and HCT116 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA) and cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI)-1640 medium (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan), Leibovitz’s L-15 medium (Wako, Osaka Japan), and Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Nacalai Tesque) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone, Logan, UT, USA), 100 units/ml of penicillin, and 100 μg/ml of streptomycin, respectively.
