Figure Lengend Snippet: IGF2BP3 regulates ID1 to modulate malignant behaviors in OS Cells. A - B : RT-qPCR analysis of IGF2BP3 expression in engineered cells. C : RT-qPCR detection of ID1 mRNA levels. D : Western blot analysis of ID1 protein expression. E : RIP-qPCR demonstrating IGF2BP3-ID1 mRNA interaction, with RIP efficiency validated by Western blot. F : Schematic of ID1-WT/MUT CDS and their dual-luciferase reporter constructs. G : Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay results. H : RT-qPCR for ID1 mRNA expression in cells at different time points (0, 2, 4, 6 h) after actinomycin D treatment. I : Western blot for IGF2BP3 and ID1 expression in cells. J : CCK-8 assay assessing cellular proliferation. K : Colony formation capacity quantified across experimental groups. L : Scratch assay evaluating cell migration ability, scale bar = 400 μm. M : Transwell invasion assay with representative images, scale bar = 200 μm. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. ns P > 0.05, **** P < 0.0001. Statistical analyses were performed using independent-samples t-test or one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. All experiments were performed in triplicate.
Article Snippet: Following lysis of infected MG-63 cells, supernatants were incubated overnight at 4 °C with pre-blocked Protein A/G agarose beads conjugated to anti-IGF2BP3 antibody (81805-1-RR, Proteintech), anti-METTL3 (#86132, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), or control IgG (A7016, Beyotime).
