Figure Lengend Snippet: a , LNA043-induced DKK1 secretion is integrin α 5 -dependent. Integrins α 5 and α v were knocked down in C-28/I2 cells by siRNA (siITGA5 and siITGAV, respectively; siITGA5+V for both combined). Left, DKK1 secretion induced by LNA043 (200 μg ml −1 ), as analyzed by ELISA. The data represent means ± s.e.m. of 3–8 independent experiments (from left to right, *** P = 0.0003, * P = 0.0391, * P = 0.0178 and **** P ≤ 0.0001). Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA with mixed-effect analysis and Šídák’s multiple comparison test. Middle, efficiency of the knockdown, as monitored by immunoblotting. GAPDH was used as a loading control. Right, quantification of the immune bands, as determined by densitometry. The data are presented as a percentage decrease ± s.e.m. versus control siRNA (siCtrl) and represent six independent experiments (**** P ≤ 0.0001). Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test. b , LNA043 interacts with α 5 β 1 integrin in vitro, as shown by co-IP experimentation. Recombinant human α 5 β 1 integrin (rhα 5 β 1 ) or recombinant human α v β 3 integrin (rhα v β 3 ) were incubated with LNA043 for 1 h at 37 °C. Immunoprecipitation was performed using a monoclonal antibody to α 5 β 1 (anti-α 5 β 1 ) or α v β 3 integrin (anti-α v β 3 ) followed by western blot analysis (right) with monoclonal antibodies to the α 5 (left) or α v (middle) integrin subunit or ANGPTL3, which recognize LNA043 (right). One representative experiment is shown out of two to four independent experiments. c , SPR single-cycle binding studies. LNA043 (top left and top right), FN1 (bottom left) or VTN (bottom right) were immobilized on a CM5 sensor. Integrins α 5 β 1 (left) or α v β 3 (right) served as analytes (0.6–10 µM). The sensorgrams were fitted with a 1:1 binding fit. One representative experiment is shown out of three independent experiments with comparable results. RU, resonance units.
Article Snippet: A total of 200–1,000 ng samples of recombinant human α 5 β integrin (rhα 5 β ; R&D Systems) or recombinant human α v β 3 integrin (rhα v β 3 ; R&D Systems) were incubated with 200 ng LNA043 in DMEM/F-12 medium (Life Technologies) for 1 h at 37 °C.
