Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blotting to detect the expression levels of LMNA and LMNB1 in cells. (A) The protein signal bands for LMNA, LMNB1, and GAPDH. (B, C) The relative expression levels of LMNB1 and LMNA (normalized to GAPDH expression) in different cell lines. The mean ± SEM of two independent experiments are shown (P = 0.0005 and P < 0.0001 for LMNB1 and LMNA, respectively; ANOVA). The results show that LMNB1-overexpressing EP156T (LMN-EP156T) cells express significantly higher amounts of LMNB1 than the parental and Mock EP156T cells. All three prostate cancer cell lines express high levels of LMNB1. All cells express LMNA, with PC-3 and DU145 expressing higher amounts of LMNA than the other cells.

Article Snippet: EP156T prostate epithelial cells and transfection with lentiviral vectors harboring LMNB1 A human TERT -immortalized EP156T prostatic epithelial cell line was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (CRL3289TM, ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and grown in MCDB-153 medium supplemented with bovine pituitary extract (25 mg/500 ml medium), hEGF (5 ng/ml medium), 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and 0.5 μg/ml puromycin.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of LMNB1 expression. Staining results were shown for (A) parental EP156T, (B) Mock EP156T, (C) LMNB1-overexpressing EP156T (LMN-EP156T), and (D) PC-3 cells (positive control). Both LMN-EP156T and PC-3 cells expressed strong nuclear staining of LMNB1, which was higher than either parental EP156T or Mock EP156T cells.

Figure Lengend Snippet: MTS assay to measure the rate of cell growth. A total of 6.5 × 103 cells in 0.1 ml of complete medium were seeded onto each well of 96 well-plates in triplicate for each cell line. Five repeated plates were prepared for measurements at 5 time points. At each time point, one plate was used for this assay. MTS reagent (20 μl) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The absorbance at 490 nm is shown as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. LMNB1-overexpressing EP156T (LMN-EP156T) cells show significantly faster growth compared to the other two cell lines (P < 0.01; ANOVA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Matrigel-coated transwell assay (37°C for 48 h, 40 × magnification). A total of 5 × 104 cells of each cell line in 0.1 ml medium + 0.1% FBS were seeded onto an insert well (pore size, 8 µm) for a 24-well plate pre-coated with Matrigel. The insert wells were placed on receiver wells with 0.65 ml of medium + 10% FBS per well. After incubation at 37°C for 48 h, the cells on the apical side of the insert wells were removed with swabs. Only cells that had passed the membrane could be visualized after staining in 20% methanol with 0.25% crystal violet for 10 min. The results are shown for (A) EP156T, (B) Mock EP156T, and (C) LMN-EP156T cells. (D) The number of cells that penetrated the wells are shown as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined by ANOVA (P < 0.0001). Significantly more LMNB1-overexpressing EP156T (LMN-EP156T) cells passed through the 8-µm pores than parental and Mock EP156T cells.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Colony-formation assay. Results are shown for (A) EP156T, (B) Mock EP156T, (C) LMNB1-overexpressing EP156T (LMN-EP156T), and (D) PC-3 cells. A total of 5 × 103 cells of each cell line were mixed in 0.3% soft agar with complete growth medium, and plated onto a culture dish (diameter, 3.5 cm). Numerous colonies can be seen in the plates inoculated with PC-3 after 2 weeks of incubation (magnification, 100 ×) at 37°C. However, no colonies have formed in the plates inoculated with the other cell lines. White arrows indicate PC-3 cell colonies.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Xenograft mouse model showing evident subcutaneous tumors in the right chest 7 weeks after the injection of PC-3 cells. (A-D) Four of the five mice injected with PC-3 cells formed subcutaneous tumors (red arrows). The tumor sizes range between 13 mm and 19 mm in diameter. No tumors were seen in mice injected with EP156T, Mock EP156T, or LMNB1-overexpressing EP156T cells (photos not shown).
