Fig. 7 The model of SOX17/NRF2 transcription axis and ZVI@CMC treatment in ESCC. In the CCRT resistant cells, the promoter hypermethylation-induced low SOX17 protein expression causes dysregulation of the cytoprotective enzymes controlled by NRF2, and thus resulting in CCRT resistance (left). Interestingly, ZVI@CMC elicits DNMT inhibition to re-express SOX17 and suppress NRF2-mediated cytoprotective programs in ESCC, and thereby sensitizing cancer cells to CCRT treatment (right)

The percentages of edited AZIN1 and FLNB transcripts were detected as described in Materials and Methods. Arrow, the editing position. F, sequence chromatograms of theAZIN1 andFLNB transcripts inKYSE510 cells (E) that were transiently transfected with two shRNAs against ADAR1 gene (shAR1#5 and shAR1 #7) or the control shRNA (control). Arrow, the editing position.

Article Snippet: Six Japanese ESCC cell lines (KYSE140, KYSE410, KYSE180, KYSE30, KYSE510, and KYSE520) were obtained from DSMZ, the German Resource Centre for Biological Material (11).

Figure 5. The edited AZIN1 confers more aggressive tumorigenic phenotypes during ESCC progression. A, sequence chromatograms of the AZIN1 transcript in the indicated cell lines. Arrow, the editing position. B, cell growth rates of the indicated cell lines were compared by XTT assays. The results are expressed as described above (, P < 0.05; , P < 0.001). C, quantification of foci formation induced by the indicated stable cell lines. Triplicate independent experiments were performed and the data were expressed as described above (, P < 0.01; , P < 0.001). Scale bar, 0.5 cm. D, quantification of colonies (formed in soft agar) that were induced by the indicated cell lines. Triplicate independent experiments were performed and the data were expressed as described above (, P < 0.05; , P < 0.01). Scale bar, 200 mm. E, quantification of cells from the indicated cells that migrated through the PET-membrane or invaded through the Matrigel-coated membrane. (, P < 0.05; , P < 0.01; , P < 0.001, unpaired, two-tailed Student t test). Scale bar, 200 mm. F, growth curves of tumors derived from the indicated cell lines over a period of 4 weeks. Data are presented as the mean SD (n ¼ 6, , P < 0.05; , P < 0.001; unpaired, two-tailed Student t test).
