Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. DRD2 promotes the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells. (A) Proliferation of MB231 treated with different concentrations of 5-AzadC. (B) Proliferation of original MCF-7 cells (Con), MCF-7 with blank vector (NC), and MCF-7 with DRD2 overexpression (OE). (C) Proliferation of original MB231 cells (Con), MB231 with non-target siRNA (shNC), MB231 with DRD2 shRNA (shRNA), and MB231 with DRD2 shRNA plus 5-AzadC (shRNA + 5-AzadC). (D) Statistics for migration of Con, NC, and OE cells. (E) Representative cell images for the migration ability of Con, NC, and OE cells. (F) Statistics for migration of Con, shNC, shRNA, and shRNA + 5-AzadC cells. (G) Representative cell images for the migration ability of Con, shNC, shRNA, and shRNA + 5-AzadC cells. * vs con, P < 0.05; # vs NC/ shNC, P < 0.05; $ vs shRNA, P < 0.05.
Article Snippet: Antibodies against DRD2 (SC-5303, Santa, USA), ERK (4695S, CST, USA), p-ERK (4370S, CST, USA), and α-tublin (66,031–1-ig, proteintech, USA) were used for Western blot analysis.
Techniques: Migration, Plasmid Preparation, Over Expression, shRNA
