Figure Lengend Snippet: ECHDC1 protein expression in gemcitabine resistant and sensitive cell lines. (A) ECHDC1 protein expression levels in parental and gemcitabine resistant (GR) cell lines were determined using western blotting. ECHDC1 expression levels were clearly increased in the gemcitabine-resistant cells compared to the gemcitabine-sensitive cells. (B) Immunofluorescence analysis of ECHDC1 expression (red) in the indicated cells. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue). The red signal in the cytoplasm, reflecting ECHDC1 expression, was much stronger in UMUC3GR than in UMUC3 cells.
