Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Annexin V-FITC/PI dual labeling assay showed AGR2 siRNA enhance apoptosis in CAL27 cell lines by using flow cytometry; (B) The morphologic changes of CAL27 cell lines transfected with AGR2 siRNA was observed by fluorescence microscopy with DAPI staining; (C) Knock down of AGR2 in CAL27 cell line reduced anchor dependent colony formation; (D) Knock down of AGR2 in CAL27 cell line reduced sphere formation; Scale bar=100μm;(E) Western blot analysis revealed that the protein level of Survivin, Cyclin D1, Bcl2, Bcl2l1, Slug, Snail, Nanog, Sox2 and OCT4 were reduced in different degrees after AGR2 konck down for 48h. Quantification is performed using Image J by pixel analysis of band by normalized of β-actin as a loading control. Neg siRNA, negative siRNA,si AGR2, AGR2 siRNA.
Article Snippet: After being incubated with 3% hydrogen superoxide for 20 minutes to quench endogenous peroxidase activity and 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific binding, the sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with polyclonal rabbit anti-human AGR2 (Cell Signaling Technology, 1:200), Survivin (Cell Signaling Technology, 1:200), Cyclin D1 (Epitomics, 1:200), ALDH1 (Proteintech gruop, 1:100), (Epitomics, 1:200), OCT4 (Proteintech gruop, 1:100), Slug (Cell Signaling Technology, 1:200).
