doi: 10.3892/ijo.2021.5262
Figure Lengend Snippet: Notch signaling is negatively associated with ASIC1a in glioblastoma multiforme. (A-C) The glioma cells were transfected with shASIC1a and control followed by assaying protein expression of ASIC1a, active form of Notch1, Notch2, Notch3, Notch4, and Notch target survivin, as well as GSC markers CD133 and ALDH1 by western blotting in (A) A172, (B) U87MG, and (C) PDX-L12 cells. (D-F) Subsequently, the glioma cells (D) A172, (E) U87MG and (F) PDX-L12 were transfected with ASIC1a-FLAG followed by assaying protein expression of ASIC1a, active form of Notch1, Notch2, Notch3, Notch4 and Notch target survivin, as well as GSC markers CD133 and ALDH1 by western blotting. * P<0.05 and ** P<0.01. ASIC1a, acid-sensing ion channel 1a; sh, short hairpin; GSC, glioblastoma stem cells; ALDH1, aldehyde dehydrogenase 1.
