Article Title: The effect of antagonizing RGD-binding integrin activity in papillary thyroid cancer cell lines
doi: 10.2147/OTT.S99166
Figure Lengend Snippet: The cytotoxic effect of antagonizing integrin αvβ3 and αvβ5 activity in PTC cell lines. Notes: ( A ) Cell viability after antagonizing αvβ3 and αvβ5 was assessed by CCK-8 assay. ( B ) Different degrees of cell apoptosis were induced by αvβ3 and αvβ5 antagonism in the three cell lines. The right lower quadrant of each plot contains early apoptotic cells, whereas the right upper quadrant contains late apoptotic cells. ( C ) The expression of cPARP in three PTC cell lines increased after antagonizing αvβ3 and αvβ5 activity. Abbreviations: PTC, papillary thyroid cancer; cPARP, cleaved PARP; CCK-8, cell counting kit-8; DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide; FITC, fluorescein isothiocyanate; PE, phycoerythrin; Con, control; h, hours.
Article Snippet: Then the cells were blocked in 5% bovine serum albumin for 40 minutes at 37°C and incubated overnight at 4°C in a solution containing diluted primary antibodies against αvβ3 (dilution 1:100) and αvβ5 (dilution 1:100) (R&D Systems).
Techniques: Activity Assay, CCK-8 Assay, Expressing, Cell Counting
