Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3. ING4 expression is correlated with 5-year survival of patients with primary melanoma. Patients with moderate to strong ING4 expression have a significantly better overall (A) and disease-specific (B) 5-year survival than those with negative to weak ING4 expression.

Article Snippet: A polyclonal rabbit anti-ING4 antibody (1:50 dilution; ProteinTech Group, Chicago, IL) was used for the immunohistochemistry staining.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. Overexpression of ING4 inhibits melanoma cell migration. (A) MMRU melanoma cells were transfected with ING4 or control vector. Twenty-four hours after transfection, cells were analyzed for the expression of ING4 by western blot analysis. (B) Wound-healing assay was done 24 h after transfection. The photographs were taken 24 h after the wounds were made. Magnification, 100. (C) Quantitation of (B). Columns, mean of triplicates; bars, standard deviation. Similar results were observed in three independent experiments. (D) Effect of ING4 on cell proliferation. MMRU cells were transfected with vector or pFlag-CMV-ING4 and the sulforhodamine B cell survival assay was performed at various time points after transfection. Columns, mean of triplicates; bars, standard deviation.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. ING4 reduces RhoA activity and stress fiber formation via ROCK. (A) ING4 reduces RhoA activity determined by RhoA pull-down assay (left panel). Total RhoA was used as loading control (right panel). (B) ING4 reduces stress fiber formation mediated by ROCK. Cells were transfected with vector or ING4, respectively, followed by serum starvation overnight and serum stimulation for 30 min. For ROCK inhibitor treatment, cells were pretreated with serum-free medium containing 10 lM Y27632 for 2 h after transfection with vector or ING4, serum starved overnight and then incubated with complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 10 lM Y27632 for 30 min. Magnification, 400. (C) Quantitation of (B).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 6. ING4 overexpression inhibits melanoma cell invasion and the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9. (A) MMRU cells were transfected with vector or ING4. Then, cells were suspended in serum-free medium and seeded on matrigel, incubated at 37C for 24 h, stained by crystal violet and quantified. Columns, means from triplicate wells; bars, standard deviation. (B) ING4 inhibits MMP-2 and MMP-9 activity in MMRU cells by zymography. (C) Quantitation of (B). Columns, means from three independent experiments; bars, standard deviation.
