Figure Lengend Snippet: a, Reverse Phase Protein Array (RPPA) was performed on three pancreatic cancer cell lines (HPAC, SW1990, BxPC-3), probing for 304 phospho- and total proteins. The cells were treated with 1 µM gemcitabine (GEM) for 72h in NC or CAF-CM. The data are shown as CAF-CM media normalized over NC media. Only significantly (p<0.05) changed proteins are shown. Yellow indicates proteins that were most significantly up-regulated in the CAF-CM and blue indicates down-regulated proteins (heat-map: log2 fold change). b , Western blot validation of the RPPA. Cells were treated with NC media or CAF-CM +/-1 µM GEM for 72h, media were changed daily, and cells were harvested 1h after the last media change. Gels were run at least thrice with similar results and probed for p-NDRG1 (T346), total NDRG1, EGFR, p-FAK (Y397), and actin. c , Purified ECM proteins (Laminin-5, Fibronectin, or Collagen 1) were added to serum starved HPAC or SW1990 cells for 3h, NC and CAF-CM media were used as controls. Cells were lysed and analysed for p-NDRG1, total NDRG1, and tubulin. d , General scheme of ECM-triggered signalling events, and pharmacological inhibition approaches used in experiments e-k . e-g , SW1990 and HPAC cells were treated with Integrin β1 or Integrin β4 function blocking antibodies or control Mouse IgG1 in CAF-CM. NC media were used as a control. g, Cells were immuno-stained for p-NDRG1 T346 (white). Scale bar: 100 µm. e-f, Mean fluorescence intensities of p-NDRG1 signal were quantified in Fiji, plotted, and analysed using Mann-Whitney test. >150 cells were analysed per condition. Magenta lines represent medians. h-i , Src-family inhibitor Saracatinib (2 µM) or FAK inhibitor Defactinib (2 µM) were added to serum starved cells (SW1990, HPAC) 1h before addition of CAF-CM, the cells were lysed 3h later and immunoblotted for p-NDRG1 T346, NDRG1, p-FAK Y397, p-Src Y418, and tubulin. j-k , SW1990 and HPAC cells were treated with vehicle control (DMSO) or inhibitors targeting AKT (MK-2206 250 nM) or SGK1 (BLU6340 250 nM) and CAF-conditioned media was added for indicated times. Cells were lysed and probed for p-NDRG1, NDRG1, p-AKT S473 and vinculin.

doi: 10.1155/2021/6639252

Figure Lengend Snippet: oxLDL regulated expression of toll-like receptor family, ROS-related genes, and sirtuin family as well as activation of Src. After oxLDL stimulation, the mRNA or protein expression of genes was detected by real-time PCR or western blot in VSMCs. The phosphorylation of Src was detected using western blot. The untreated group served as control (Con), and β -actin served as an internal reference gene to normalize protein expression. All of the real-time PCR results were calculated by 2 - ΔΔ CT method; the western blot results were calculated using grayscale value. (a) The mRNA expression of the toll-like receptor family ranging from Tlr1 to Tlr13 . ( n = 3 per group, results were expressed as mean ± SD; ∗ P < 0.01, as compared with the Con group.) (b) Upper: the phosphorylation of Src (Tyr-418, Y418) was detected after 1-hour stimulation by different doses (12.5, 25, and 50 μ g) of oxLDL in VSMCs. Bottom: the protein expression of ROS generation (Nox2 and Nox4) and elimination-related (Mnsod) genes in VSMCs, after stimulating by different doses (12.5, 25, and 50 μ g) of oxLDL for 48 hours. (c) After incubation with different doses (12.5, 25, and 50 μ g) of oxLDL, the protein levels of the sirtuin family (Sirt1-7) were measured. ( n = 3 per group, results were expressed as mean ± SD; ∗∗ P < 0.01 as compared with the Con group).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Knockdown or inactivation of Src regulated lipid accumulation and cellular phenotype in VSMCs. (a, b) Tlr4(-) or NC were treated with or without oxLDL (50 μ g/mL) for 1 hour; the activation of Src (Tyr-418, Y418) had been detected by western blot. ( n = 3 per group, results were expressed as mean ± SD; ∗∗ P < 0.01, as compared with oxLDL-untreated NC group; ## P < 0.01, as compared with oxLDL-treated NC group.) Src was knockdown by siRNA transfection within VSMCs. The Src-specific antagonist, PP2, was used to block Src activation, with PP3 serving as the negative control. The VSMCs were treated with and without 50 μ g/mL oxLDL for 48 hours. (c, d) The Src-specific [Src (-)] and negative control (NC) siRNA were, respectively, transfected into VSMCs for 72 hours, and the knockdown efficiency was detected. ( n = 3 per group, results were expressed as mean ± SD; ∗∗ P < 0.01, as compared with the NC group.) (e) Nile Red (orange) was used to label the lipid, and the concentration of intracellular lipid was measured. ( n = 5 per group, results were expressed as mean ± SD; ∗∗ P < 0.01, as compared with the untreated group; @@ P < 0.01, the oxLDL-treated Src siRNA group compared with the oxLDL-treated NC group; ## P < 0.01, the oxLDL-treated PP2 group compared with the oxLDL-treated PP3 group.) (f, g) Western blot was conducted to measure the VSMC contractile phenotype markers (Myh11 and α Sma) and foam cell markers (Mac2 and Cd68). All the western blot results were calculated using grayscale value, and β -actin served as an internal reference gene to normalize protein expression. ( n = 3 per group, results were expressed as mean ± SD; ∗∗ P < 0.01, as compared with the control group (untreated group); @@ P < 0.01, the oxLDL-treated Src siRNA group compared with the oxLDL-treated NC group; ## P < 0.01, the oxLDL-treated PP2 group compared with oxLDL-treated PP3 group).

doi: 10.3389/fonc.2022.829313

Figure Lengend Snippet: Working model for CAR-dependent regulation of lung cancer cell adhesion. Phosphorylated CAR promotes β1 integrin and Rap1 activation. Similarly to JAM-A, dimerised CAR may promote interaction of scaffold protein MAGI-1 and the Rap1 GEF PDZ-GEF2, resulting in Rap1 activation. CAR-mediated Rap1 activation promotes cell-ECM adhesion and may enhanceβ1 integrin activity. The latter may in turn be involved in CAR-mediated promotion of cell invasion. Phosphorylated CAR may recruit β1 integrins and/or focal adhesion components Src, FAK and Paxillin to the membrane to regulate cell-cell adhesion and to distally control focal adhesion activity.
