Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of IL13RA2 in Glioblastoma ( a ) IL13RA2 mRNA expression levels in normal brain tissues (n = 6), LGG tissues (n = 10), and HGG tissues (n = 10) detected by qRT-PCR (normalized to GAPDH, 2 ^(−ΔΔCT) method; ∗ P < 0.05 ). ( b ) RT-qPCR detection of IL13RA2 mRNA expression levels in three GBM cell lines and normal glial cells HEB, data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. (∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001). ( c-d ) Western blot analysis of IL13RA2 protein expression (molecular weight ∼55 kDa; GAPDH [37 kDa] as internal control; quantitative analysis by ImageJ software, ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗∗ P < 0.0001). ( e ) Immunofluorescence localization of IL13RA2 (red fluorescence) in cells (DAPI: blue, nuclear staining; laser confocal microscopy, non-permeabilized condition; scale bar = 50 μm; HEB cells show negligible IL13RA2 signal, while GBM cells exhibit strong membrane-localized fluorescence).

Article Snippet: Subsequently, 5′-FAM-A2b11 solution, IL13RA2 antibody (Beyotime, China), and DAPI were sequentially applied for staining.
