Journal: Oncotarget

Figure Legend Snippet: A. SPP1 is located in chromosome 4q22.1, spanning 7.76 kb from 87.9756 to 87.9834 Mb in the Contig NC_000004.12. Five isoforms are banked in genome build GRCh38. OPN5 is the only isoform that has exon 4 and an alternative start codon. OPNb lacks exon 6 while OPNc lacks exon 5. OPN4 is the isoform with the shortest transcript, lacking exons 4, 5 and 6. B. Heat map of exome variant analysis using ST 2.1 Affymetrix arrays of 124 primary EACs (exon 6 was not available in the ST 2.1 array). C. Summary of OPN isoform-specific exon expression (0, absence of exon/exons; 1, presence of exon/exons; Frequency, total number of times the exon/exons is expressed across all isoforms). D. Correlation of OPN isoform-specific expression in primary EAC. The mean expression derived from 3 probe sets (2 from exon 7 and 1 from exon 8) with the least deviation among all common exons (1, 2, 3, 7 and 8) was used to represent the total OPN expression. Subtraction of exon 5 expression (specific for isoforms OPNa, b and 5) from the total OPN expression yielded OPNc+4 expression (red dots). Subtraction of exon 4 expression, which was specific for OPN5 (green dots), from exon 5 expression yielded OPNa+b expression (blue dots). These expression levels were then plotted against the total OPN expression for each primary EAC in the arrays. E. Pearson correlation coefficients showed significant correlation between these groups.
Techniques Used: Variant Assay, Expressing, Derivative Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: A. OPNb cells showed significantly more invasion than OPNc cells using Matrigel Basement Membrane Matrix-casted culture dishes (250 μg/ml of BD Matrigel Matrix) following 24–36 h incubation and Diff-Quick staining as compared with cells in non-casted culture dishes. OPN isoform expression levels were monitored using qRT-PCR. B. Matrigel Matrix-resuspended OPNb cells displayed more invasive growth and xenograft formation in vivo than OPNc cells. One million Lenti-Luc-labeled OE33/OPN stable cells were resuspended in 0.1 ml Matrigel Matrix and subcutaneously injected into the flanks of nude mice. In vivo tumor imaging to monitor growth was performed using a Xenogen IVIS Spectrum scanner (*Note, red asterisk, actual imaging intensity should be greater than the reported measurement (total flux, p/s) due to tumor ulceration; blue asterisk, nodule at the site of subcutaneous injection but luciferin signal not detected).

Figure Legend Snippet: Flo/OPN stable cells were seeded at 0.6 × 10 6 cells/12-well, wounded and cultured in media in the presence or absence of cilengitide (100 nM) up to 96 h post wounding. A. In the absence of cilengitide, both OPNb and OPNib cells showed significantly increased migration as compared to LacZ control cells. Both OPNc and OPNic cells were significantly less motile, with gaps remaining more than 96 h post wounding. OPNa cells showed increased migration as compared to LacZ control cells whereas OPNia cells demonstrated similar migration to LacZ cells. B. In the presence of cilengitide, OPNb cell motility was attenuated while OPNib cell migration was severely hindered. Reduced migration of OPNc and OPNic cells remained unchanged. Increased motility of OPNa cells was also attenuated but OPNia cell migration was similar to LacZ cells (* P < 0.05, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001, t -test).
Techniques Used: Cell Culture, Migration
Figure Legend Snippet: Culture plates were coated with Matrigel mixture (laminin at 10.8 μg/ml), blocked for 30 min, seeded with a single cell suspension (0.01 × 10 6 cells/96-well) and incubated at 37°C/5% CO 2 for 30 min. Cells were then fixed with glutaraldehyde and stained with Diff/Quick solution. A. Representative images demonstrating that OPNb significantly enhanced cell adhesion in laminin casted culture plates as compared to the LacZ control and OPNc stable cells. B. Enhanced cell adhesion was also observed for OPNib- but not OPNic-expressing cells. The significant increase in OPNb cell adhesion was abrogated with the addition of 1000 nM cilengitide.

Figure Legend Snippet: A. Significant cell detachment was observed for OE33/OPNc-expressing cells. OE33/OPN stable cells were seeded in culture dishes at 80% confluence (0.22 × 10 6 cells/ml in 6-well plates) for 24 h, transfected with lipofectamine alone (mock) or siNonTarget (siNT) or untreated for 96 h and then fixed and stained with Diff-Quik staining solution. While OPNb-expressing cells demonstrated adherence to culture dishes, OPNc cells were significantly detached, as exhibited by markedly increased non-stained areas in culture dishes (see also ). B. OE33 cells harbor both MET and ERBB2 gene amplification with corresponding gene overexpression (see ). Silencing of MET using siRNA enhanced OE33/OPNc cell detachment while knockdown of ERBB2 did not alter its existing phenotype. Expression of both OPNa and b in OE33 cells appeared to increase adhesion of these cells, as control LacZ cells exhibited increased detachment following transfection with 10 nM siMET or co-transfection with 5 nM each siMET and siERBB2 as compared to transfection with 10 nM siERBB2 alone. C. Silencing of MET resulted in significant detachment of OPNia-expressing cells but did not change the phenotypes of OPNib or OPNic-expressing cells as compared to their full-length OPN counterparts treated with siMET .

Figure Legend Snippet: A. Cilengitide reduces OPNb but not OPNc cell proliferation in 2-D cultures. Representative plates were shown. OPNb, OPNib, OPNc, OPNic stable and LacZ control cells were seeded in sextuplicate at 150 cells/6-well. Sets of 3 wells were mock-treated or treated with IC 50LacZ dose of cilengitide (1000 nM) for 12 days, and clonal foci were fixed and stained with Diff-Quik Staining solution. B. Bar graph representation of stained foci showing significantly reduced OPNb and OPNib cell proliferation in the presence of cilengitide as compared to their untreated cells, which exceeded the 50% (IC 50LacZ ) reduction observed in treated LacZ control, OPNc or OPNic cells. (*** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001, t -test) C. Ectopic expression of both OPNb and OPNc enhanced EAC cell colony formation in 3-D soft agar cultures. Integrin inhibition did not significantly alter the colony formation of these cells. Flo/OPN and LacZ control cells (7000 cells/12-well, from the same cell-suspensions in Figure ) were mixed with top-agar media in the presence or absence of cilengitide (1000 nM) and were pipetted onto the casted base-agar with or without cilengitide. Cells were allowed to grow for 20 days with periodic replacement of the overlaid media with or without cilengitide. Agar plates were stained with 0.05% crystal violet in 50% ethanol and imaged using the Leica MXFL III Stereo microscope; Olympus DP-70 digital camera at × 0.8 magnification. Soft agar assays were performed in triplicate. D. Significantly increased colony-formation was observed in Flo/OPNb, OPNib, OPNc and OPNic cells as compared to Flo/LacZ controls and was not altered with the addition of cilengitide. Colonies were counted using ImageJ software, and graphs were generated using Prism software. (red, comparison to untreated LacZ; green, comparison to cilengitide-treated LacZ; ns, not significant; ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001, One-way ANOVA)

Figure Legend Snippet: A. Western blot analysis revealed increased E-cadherin expression in OPNa-, OPNb-, OPNib- and OPNic-expressing cells but decreased expression in OPNc-and OPNia-expressing cells as compared to LacZ controls. Vimentin expression was increased in both OPNb- and OPNib-expressing cells but decreased in OPNa-, OPNia-, OPNc-, and OPNic-expressing cells. B. Elevated β-catenin expression was observed in OPNa-, OPNb- and OPNc-expressing cells. Addition of cilengitide did not alter β-catenin expression in any of the OPN isoform-expressing cells but induced E-cadherin expression in OPNc-expressing cells. GAPDH or β-actin was included as a loading control.
