Figure Lengend Snippet: The effect of chromogranin A (CHGA) and ubiquitin carboxyl‐terminal hydrolase isozyme L1 (UCHL1) silencing on Rho‐GTPase/AKT/NFκB pathway activation and the expression of EMT markers in CRC. After transfection with lentiviral shRNA targeting CHGA and UCHL1 (shCHGA and shUCHL1) or non‐targeting control (shControl), whole‐cell lysate proteins of HCT‐116 cells were subjected to western blotting, with antibodies against phosphorylation of Rho‐GTPase, AKT and NFκB p50 (A) as well as β‐catenin, cyclin E, twist 1/2 and vimentin (B) β‐Actin served as the loading control. The protein levels were quantified through densitometric analysis with the ratio of the untreated control (Control) set as onefold. The quantitative data are presented as the mean of three repeats from three independent experiments. * p < 0.05, compared with the control group.
Article Snippet: The antibodies were respectively obtained by Abcam Technology (Abcam) and Cell Signalling Technology, including mouse/rabbit polyclonal antibodies against RhoA Ser188, AKT Thr180Tyr182 and NFκB p50 bought from all culture materials were obtained from Gibco (Grand Island, NY, USA).
