Article Title: IL-13Rα2 Is Involved in Resistance to Doxorubicin and Survival of Osteosarcoma Patients
doi: 10.3390/ph17111526
Figure Lengend Snippet: IL-13Rα2 is involved in the regulation of signaling molecules related to osteosarcoma cell proliferation and apoptosis: ( A ) Two osteosarcoma cells, U2OS and KHOS/NP, were transfected with empty vector, shRNA for IL-13Rα2, or wild-type IL-13Rα2 plasmids, and Western blotting performed for IL-13Rα2, TGF-β, snail, cyclin D1, BAX, BCL2, and actin. ( B ) Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed for IL-13Rα2, TGF-β1, snail, cyclin D1, BAX, BCL2, and GAPDH in U2OS and KHOS/NP cells after transfection of vectors. The data were normalized with GAPDH expression. *** p < 0.001; EV, empty vector for wild-type IL-13Rα2; IL-13Rα2-OE, vector for wild-type IL-13Rα2; shControl, control vector for shRNA; shIL-13Rα2, vector for shRNA for IL-13Rα2.
