Figure Lengend Snippet: ELK4 is highly expressed in HPV+ CC patients. (a) The mRNA expression of ELK4 in cervical tissues was compared with cervix cancer tissues by qRT-PCR. (b) Western blot assay showed the protein expression of ELK4 in cervical tissues and cervix cancer tissues. β-actin was normalized control. (c) ELK4 protein levels in human cervical epithelial immortalized cell line H8 and Cervix cancer cell lines (HeLa, CaSki, and SiHa) were detected by western blot. β-actin was normalized. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD. ***p < 0.001 vs normal tissues or cell line H8. SD, Standard deviation
Article Snippet: The human cervical epithelial immortalized cell line H8 (PCS-480-011) and cervical carcinoma cell lines such as HeLa (HPV18, CRM-CCL-2), CaSki (HPV16, CRM-CRL-1550), and SiHa (HPV − , HTB-35) (USA) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection.
