Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Immunostaining images of mesenchymal markers (N-cad, Slug, and CD44), endothelial marker (VE-Cad), (B) proliferation (Ki-67), and angiogenesis markers (CD34 and pVEGFR2), and the respective intensity in CD31+ intact and bAVM vessels. n=ROIs (dots) in 2–3 (Veh) or 3–6 (TM) mice (1mg/kg and 2mg/kg combined), Mice were sacrificed at 10 weeks after treatments, Data expressed as mean value of dots ± SEM, * p <0.05, ** p <0.01, *** p <0.001, **** p <0.0001 vs KRAS G12V mice treated with vehicle. Student’s t -test. Scale bar = 100μm. Veh, Vehicle; TM, Trametinib.
Article Snippet: The fixed samples were incubated with primary antibodies: CD31 (AF3628, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), Ter119 (MAB1125, R&D systems), VE-Cad (361900, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), p-ERK1/2 (9101S), N-Cad (13116S), Slug (9585S), CD44 (37259S), and Ki-67 (9129S) from Cell Signaling Technology, CD34 (NB6001071, Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO), or pVEGFR2 (SAB4504567, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), followed by secondary antibodies: 488-conjugated donkey anti-goat (705-545-147) or anti-rabbit IgG (711-545-152), Rhodamine Red-X-AffiniPure donkey anti-mouse (715-295-151), anti-rabbit (711-295-152), or anti-goat IgG (705-295-147), 647-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit (711-605-152), anti-mouse (715-605-150), or anti-rat IgG (712-605-153).
