Article Title: WNK2 may promote ovarian cancer progression by upregulating POU5F1B
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0332003
Figure Lengend Snippet: A-B, POU5F1B was successfully overexpressed in the WNK2-knockdown cell lines A2780 and CAOV3. C-D, WNK2 knockdown suppressed the proliferation of OC cells. When POU5F1B was overexpressed, the proliferation inhibition of OC cells was reversed. E-F, POU5F1B promoted the viability of WNK2-knockdown cell in vivo. G, Curves of tumor growth: When visible lumps occurred, tumor volumes were measured every two days. H, Immunohistochemistry staining of POU5F1B in nude mice tumors. WNK2 knockdown inhibited the migration of OC cells. When POU5F1B was overexpressed, the migration inhibition of OC cells was reversed. I, Western blot illustrated the level of p-AKT(473) in OC cells after WNK2 was knocked down and POU5F1B overexpressed.
Article Snippet: Human OC cell lines CAOV3 and A2780 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA).
