Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5 | SHH pathway is important for malignant transformation in a subset of MPNSTs and a therapeutic target. a Capillary-based immunoassay (WES) con- firming knockout of PTCH1 and subsequent increased GLI1 activity in HSC1-λ cells. b Trypan blue counts of parental HSC1-λ and PTCH1-knockout clone. Error bars, s.e.m.; n = 3 biologically independent experiments. c PTCH1-knockout in HSC1-λ cell lines leads to upregulation of SHH pathway (GLI1, GLI2 and SMO). Error bars, s.e.m.; n = 3 biologically independent experiments. d Protein blot confirming knockout of PTCH1 in ipNF06.2A cells. e Trypan blue counts of a parental ipNF06.2A cells and PTCH1-knockout clone. Error bars, s.e.m; n = 3 biologically independent experiments. f PTCH1-knockout in ipNF06.2A leads to upregulation of SHH pathway (GLI1, GLI2 and SMO).
