Article Title: CX3CL1 induces cell migration and invasion through ICAM ‐1 expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells
doi: 10.1111/jcmm.17750
Figure Lengend Snippet: CX3CL1 promotes the translocation of c‐Jun and promoter binding of AP‐1 formation in human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. (A) Immunofluorescent staining showed that c‐Jun translocated into the nucleus after cell were treated with CX3CL1; nuclear translocation was prevented when the cells were pre‐treated with CX3CR1 mAb, U73122, GF109203 or PP2. (B) Quantified analysis of c‐Jun activation with CX3CL1 using Western blot. (C) CX3CL1 treatment upregulated AP‐1 luciferase activity. (D) Quantified analysis of AP‐1 luciferase activity with specific inhibitors and CX3CL1 recombinant protein (30 ng/mL) treatment. (E) Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis of c‐Jun and AP‐1 promoter binding site with neutralizing antibody and specific inhibitors. Results are expressed as the mean ± SD of four independent experiments. *, p < 0.05 and #, p < 0.05 as compared to control and CX3CL1 treatment.
