Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunohistochemical staining of DKK1 in clinical specimens. (A) Representative images of DKK1 in human liver tissue, DKK2 in human hepatocarcinoma tissue, SFRP1 in human heart muscle tissue in positive control (scale bar, 1000 μm), normal epithelium (scale bar, 50 μm), nonadvanced adenoma (scale bar, 200 μm), advanced adenoma (scale bar, 500 μm), and advanced cancer (scale bar, 500 μm). (B) Comparison of specimens with immunohistochemical staining for αSMA and DKK1 in (a) nonadvanced adenoma and (b) advanced cancer. Scale bars: 100 μm. DKK1 , Dickkopf‐1; αSMA , α‐smooth muscle actin.
Article Snippet: To analyze the function of DKK1 in colon cancer cell lines, HCT116 cells at a density of 4.0 × 10 3 cells per well were seeded in 96‐well plates and cultured in the medium supplemented with 200 ng/mL recombinant human DKK1 protein (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).
