Article Title: pTyr 421 Cortactin Is Overexpressed in Colon Cancer and Is Dephosphorylated by Curcumin: Involvement of Non-Receptor Type 1 Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTPN1)
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0085796
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Table with 13 plasma membrane-associated proteins identified by QTOF-MS/MS as significantly decreased in T84 cell monolayers treated with curcumin. Data shows average number unique peptides identified from three different experiments ± SD. ( B ) Quantitative analysis of cortactin expression in the T84 cells by M/S. The spectrum values were obtained from three different experiments. The quantification data for cortactin protein was derived from M/S using Scaffold proteome software (version Scaffold_3.1.2). Data are means ± SE, * p <0.05 compared with untreated cells, Student's t test. ( C ) Confirmation of CTTN protein expression by western blotting with biotinylated cell surface protein fraction prepared from T84 cells treated with DMSO (CTRL) or 50 µM curcumin for 1–4 hours. CD71 (transferrin receptor) was used as a loading control. CTRL represents cells treated with DMSO for 4 hours.
Article Snippet: Even loading of biotinylated surface proteins was confirmed with goat polyclonal anti-transferrin receptor antibody (Santa Cruz).
