Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) PC-3 human PCa cells (1 × 10 6 ) were directly injected into prostate organ of nude mice to form prostate tumors. There were five mice in control group and experimental group, respectively. Protein expression level of ROR2, PIAS3, E-cadherin, and vimentin was examined by IHC. Images were captured at ×40 magnification. Scale bar represented 50 μm. ( b ) Proteins level of ROR2, PIAS3, phospho-AKT S473, phospho-AKT T308, and total AKT in prostate xenografts were also determined by the western blotting assay. Expression of β-actin was used as loading control. ( c ) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of lung tissues in mice was examined for dissemination of PCa cells. Images were capture at ×20 (upper panel) and ×40 (bottom panel) magnification. Scale bar represented 50 μm. ( d ) A list of lung metastasis of PC-3 cells with or without ROR2 overexpression in the above orthotopic nude mice.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) inhibits the activation of STAT3, which has an inverse correlation with PLZF. ( A ) IHC of PLZF, pY-STAT3 in tissue arrays of surrounding normal prostate tissues, and human prostate cancer specimens correlates with Gleason scores (GS). Quantification of PLZF-positive expression according to the GS in normal tissues adjacent to the benign tumors ( n = 9) and malignant tumors ( n = 40) (right). ( B ) Associations between expression of PLZF and pY-STAT3. Scatter plots showing the linear correlation determined by Pearson correlation coefficient calculation of those genes that were statistically significant. Pearson correlation coefficient r and p -values are given in each scatter plot. ( C ) PSA levels were measured according to the PLZF and pY-STAT3 protein levels, n = 40. ( D ) Kaplan–Meier recurrence-free survival analysis of prostate cancer patients according to PLZF (* p = 0.0344) and pY-STAT3 (* p < 0.0001) expression. ( E ) Quantification of PLZF mRNA expression according to the GS and metastasis in prostate cancer patients’ samples, *** p < 0.0001. ( F ) PLZF, pY-STAT3, STAT3, and GAPDH protein expression by Western blotting in the prostate cancer cell lines DU145 and LNCaP. GAPDH was used as a loading control.
