Figure Lengend Snippet: At baseline, GSC markers, HA receptors, and drug resistance genes are highly co-expressed in GBM, with cell-line dependence. a Percent of population expressing SOX2 and CD44 within U87-MG and D456 cells treated in NBE with varying concentrations of HA for a full passage length, measured via flow cytometry (mean ± SE; n = 3). b Confocal microscopy was performed on D456 cells grown in NBE for NANOG, SOX2, and HYAL1 (scale bars = 200 μm). c qRT-PCR gene expression of (left to right) GSC markers, HA-related genes, and drug resistance genes in U87-MG and D456 cells. Reported as relative expression compared to housekeeping gene GAPDH with log10 transformation and significance noted between cell lines. HYAL1 and MDR1 were lower than detection level (n.d.) in D456 (mean ± SE; n = 3; * p < 0.05, † p < 0.01, and ‡ p < 0.001
Article Snippet: Pellets were then stained with rabbit anti-SOX2 IgG polyclonal primary antibody (Proteintech) and goat anti-rabbit IgG Alexa Fluor 488 polyclonal secondary antibody (EMD Millipore).
