Figure Lengend Snippet: Functions of PEAK1 on the HIF-1α/STAT3/NF-κB pathway activation in PCa cells. A WB was conducted to test the protein levels of HIF-1α, PD-L1, p -STAT3, and p –p65 in PC3 and DU145 cells with PEAK1 overexpression. B , C WB was conducted to test the protein levels of HIF-1α, PD-L1, p -STAT3, and p –p65 in PC3 and DU145 cells with PEAK1 knocking down. D WB was conducted to test the protein levels of HIF-1α, PD-L1, p -STAT3, and p –p65 in PC3 cells with PEAK1 overexpression and co-culturing with THP1 cells. E , F WB was conducted to test the protein levels of HIF-1α, PD-L1, p -STAT3, and p –p65 in PC3 and DU145 cells with PEAK1 overexpression and LW6, Stattic or Bay 11–7082 treatment. N = 3. * stands for p < 0.05, ** stands for p < 0.01, *** stands for p < 0.001
Article Snippet: The PC3 and DU145 cells were treated with the HIF-1α inhibitor LW6 (10 μM, #HY-13671, MedChemExpress) [ ]; the STAT3 inhibitor Stattic (10 μM, #HY-13818, MedChemExpress) [ ]; the NF-κB inhibitor Bay 11–7082 (15 μM, #HY-13453, MedChemExpress) [ ]; and increasing doses of enzalutamide (5 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, and 40 μM, #HY-70002, MedChemExpress) [ ] for 24 h.
