Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. ECM1 activates the MAPK signaling pathway in PCa cells. A) Waterfall plot showing differentially expressed genes (p < 0.05, log2 fold change>1.5) in C4-2B cells treated with ENZ (10 μM, 48 h) combined with ECM1 protein (200 ng mL−1, 48 h) or ENZ (10 μM, 48 h) alone. The highlighted genes were related to proliferation and apoptosis. B) KEGG analysis of pathways enriched in ENZ combined with ECM1 protein treatment group compared to the ENZ treatment group. C) WB analysis of MEK, p-MEK, ERK1/2, and p-ERK1/2 expression in the indicated groups of C4-2B cells. D) IHC staining and quantification of p-ERK1/2 expression in mice intratibial and subcutaneous tumors grouped as indicated (Scale bars, 500 μm and 100 μm, n = 6 per group). E) WB analysis and quantification of MEK, p-MEK, ERK1/2, and p-ERK1/2 expression in C4-2B cells stimulated with ENZ (10 μM) combined with ECM1 (200 ng mL−1) in the presence of inhibitors for either RAS (MCP110, 10 μM), MEK (U0126, 10 μM), ERK1/2 (Ulixertinib, 10 μM), EGFR (Lapatinib, 10 μM), FGFR1 (Fexagratinib, 10 μM), IGF1R (Linsitinib, 10 μM) or Veh (DMSO), compared to ENZ-treated alone or untreated C4-2B cells. F) C4-2B cell proliferation on day 7 of groups as shown in E. G) WB analysis and quantification of EGFR, p-EGFR, FGFR1, p-FGFR1, IGF1R and p-IGF1R expression in groups as indicated. ns, not significant; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001.
