Article Title: Multidrug resistance protein 5 affects cell proliferation, migration and gemcitabine sensitivity in pancreatic cancer MIA Paca‑2 and PANC‑1 cells
doi: 10.3892/or.2023.8666
Figure Lengend Snippet: MRP5 expression at the mRNA level in (A) MIA Paca-2 and (B) PANC-1 clones transduced with scrambled control and multidrug resistance protein 5-short-hairpin RNA. Relative MRP5 mRNA expression was detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. MRP5 mRNA expression was normalised to the reference gene GAPDH and relative quantitation of gene expression was calculated using the comparative threshold cycle method (2 −ΔΔCq ). All data were expressed as the mean and standard deviation from three independent experiments performed in duplicates. Cell surface protein expression of MRP5 in (C) MIA Paca-2 and (D) PANC-1 cells presented as the mean percentage of the scrambled control. The bar represents the mean and standard deviation from three independent experiments performed in triplicates. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001; ****P<0.0001 from Dunnett's post-hoc test that followed one-way ANOVA for comparison of all MRP5 knockdown clones to the scrambled control. (E and F) MRP5 protein detected in representative flow cytometry histograms of cell surface staining using anti-MRP5 primary antibody and Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody on (E) MIA Paca-2 and (F) PANC-1 clones. The x-axis is the fluorescence signal intensity displayed in a linear log scale. MRP5, multidrug resistance protein 5; shRNA, short-hairpin RNA.
Article Snippet: After fixation in 1% paraformaldehyde (PFA) (cat. no. P6148; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) at 4°C for 15 min, the cells underwent permeabilization in 0.2% saponin (cat. no. 47036-50G-F, Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) at 4°C for 15 min, blocking in 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (cat. no. NZ21-69100-038; pH Scientific) at room temperature for 15 min, and staining with anti-MRP5 rat monoclonal antibody (M5II-54) (1:20 in 2% BSA; cat. no. MA1-35684; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) or Rat IgG2α Isotype Control primary antibody (1:20 in 2% BSA; cat. no. 02-9688, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at 4°C for 1 h. The cells were then stained with goat anti-Rat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor ® 488) secondary antibody (1:200 in 2% BSA; cat. no. ab96887; Abcam) at 4°C for 1 h. The cells were washed three times with PBS containing 0.1% NaN 3 and 0.1% saponin between each step.
