Figure Lengend Snippet: GATA6-AS1 Is Poorly Expressed and FZD4 Is Highly Expressed in GC (A) Heatmap of GEO: GSE13911 . (B) Heatmap of GEO: GSE19826 . (C) FZD4 expression in GC from TCGA, with red boxplot referring to GC sample and gray boxplot referring to normal sample. (D) Survival analysis of FZD4 in GC from TCGA, with red boxplot referring to patients with high expression of FZD4 and gray boxplot referring to patients with low expression of FZD4. (E) Methylation of FZD4 in different stages of GC. (F) Expression of FZD4 in GC tissues and paracancerous normal tissues examined by immunohistochemistry (original magnification, ×400). *p < 0.05 versus the paracancerous normal tissues. (G) mRNA and protein levels of GATA6-AS1 and FZD4 in CG tissues determined by qRT-PCR and western blot analysis. *p < 0.05 versus the paracancerous normal tissues. (H) Correlation analysis of GATA6-AS1 and FZD4. (I) Expression of GATA6-AS1 and mRNA and protein level of FZD4 in gastric cell line and GC cell lines. *p < 0.05 versus GES-1 cell line. In (A) and (B), the abscissa represents the sample number, the ordinate indicates the name of the differentially expressed genes, and the upper right histogram is the color gradation. The color change from top to bottom indicates the decrease of expression value, and each rectangle corresponds to the expression value of a sample. Each column represents the expression of all genes in each sample. The left dendrogram represents the results of cluster analysis of different genes from different samples. The top cross bar shows the sample type, and the upper right box reveals the sample color reference. The blue is the normal control sample, and the red is the tumor sample.
Article Snippet: After the membrane had been blocked for 1 h, it was incubated with primary antibodies of rabbit polyclonal antibodies to FZD4 (1 μg/mL, ab83042), β-catenin (1:4,000, ab6302), c- myc (1:500, ab39688), cyclinD1 (1:500, ab61758), E-cadherin (1:500, ab15148), Vimentin (1:1,000, ab137321), Snail (1:500, ab82846), Slug (1:100, ab75629), p-GSK-3β Ser9 (1:500, ab131097), and mouse monoclonal antibody to GSK-3β (1:500, ab93926) overnight at 4°C (all antibodies above were purchased from Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA).
