    <t>CXCR6</t> expression in ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines. Ovarian cancer tissues from normal (n = 12), endometrioid (n = 27) and serous (n = 33) were probed with antibody against CXCR6. CXCR6 was developed using DAB (brown). Images (40X) were captured using TissueFAXS cell analysis system from tissuegnostics (Panel A). Immuno-intensity of CXCR6 as shown in box plot was quantified using Histoquest image analysis software (Panel B). Line in the middle represents median value. ★ p < 0.05 when compared to control; ✜ p < 0.05 when compared between the endometrioid and serous papillary groups. CXCR6 protein expression in OvCa and normal epithelial cells was confirmed by FACS analysis. Cells were stained for CXCR6 expression using a purified phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-human CXCR6 (Panel C).

Furthermore, the membrane expression of CXCR4 was also observed in A549, H292 and 95D cells at the same time. The experiments were repeated three times and the images were representative of the experiments. Error bars depict the standard error of the mean.

    To silence the CXCR6 gene expression, we transfected A549 cells with phU6/GFP/Neo plasmid containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules targeted against CXCR6, with the usage of Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). The sequences for three shRNA oligonucleotides were: (CXCR6-2819-1): 5′-ctGAG GAC AAT TCC AAG ACT T-3′ (sense) and 5′-AAG TCT TGG AAT TGT CCT CAG-3′ (Anti-sense); (CXCR6-2820-2) 5′-ctCAC CAT GAT TGT CTG CTA T-3′ (sense) and 5′-ATA GCA GAC AAT CAT GGT GAG-3′ (Anti-sense); (CXCR6-2821-1) 5′-gcTTG CTC ATC TGG GTG ATA T-3′ (sense) and 5′-ATA TCA CCC AGA TGA GCA AGC-3′ (Anti-sense). Efficiency of RNA interference against CXCR6 was validated by western blot. It was shown in Fig. 7 that CXCR6 protein was substantially expressed in A549 cells (bank-control, without any treatment) and the RNA interference technology effectively inhibited CXCR6 expression in A549 cells.
