Figure Lengend Snippet: DOX treatment and PIAS4 overexpression affects protein expression levels in MCF-7 cells. (a) PIAS4 protein expression in MCF-10-A cells and NMR intestinal tissue, (b) Histogram analysis of (a). (c) PIAS4 protein expression in MCF-10-A and MCF-7 cells. (d) Histogram analysis of ( c ). (e) PIAS4 and Bcl2 protein expression levels in MCF-7 cells stably expressing Exp.dTomato (control) or Exp.PIAS4, with or without DOX treatment. ( f ) Histogram of PIAS4 expression levels from ( e ). (g) Histogram of Bcl-2 protein levels from ( e ). All Western blots were derived from the same lysate, performed concurrently, and represent three independent experiments ( n = 3). Protein expression levels were normalised either α-Tubulin, GAPDH or β-actin. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) from three independent experimental repeats. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 indicate statistically significant differences
