Article Title: Overexpression of UHRF2 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and its clinical significance
doi: 10.2147/OTT.S149361
Figure Lengend Snippet: UHRF2 expression resulted in ICC cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and antiapoptosis. Notes: ( A ) UHRF2 expression was interfered by siRNA and confirmed by Western blot and qRT-PCR. GAPDH was used as internal control. ( B ) Cell counting kit-8 assay was used to assess the ability of cell proliferation. ( C ) Transwell assay was used to show the invasion of ICC cells with different UHFR2 expression in 48 hours. Scale bar =100 μm. ( D ) Wound healing assays showed that inhibition of UHRF2 decreased wound healing compared with control cells. Scale bar =100 μm. ( E ) FCM results indicated that anti-UHRF2 caused acceleration of cell apoptosis. The results are mean ± SD of triplicated independent experiments. * P <;0.05, ** P <;0.01, *** P <;0.001. Abbreviations: FCM, flow cytometry; FITC, fluorescein isothiocyanate; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; ICC, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; qRT-PCR, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; UHRF2, ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 2.
Article Snippet: Rabbit anti-human UHRF2 monoclonal antibody (1:1,000; Wuhan Boster Biological Technology, Ltd., Wuhan, People’s Republic of China) and rabbit anti-human E-cadherin antibody (1:100; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) were utilized to detect the levels of UHRF2 and E-cadherin.
