Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blot and Co-IP results indicate that knockdown of CBX2, activation of NF-κB, inhibition of METTL3, overexpression of METTL3, and Inhibition of SHP2 all upregulate or downregulate downstream signaling molecules. ( A ) Western Blot analysis of protein bands for CBX2, CEP55, p-NF-κB, METTL3, TGFβ1, and p-SHP2 in the NC group, CBX2-KD group, CBX2-KD-E1351 group, CBX2-KD-E1351-STM2457 group, CBX2-KD-E1351-STM2457-METTL3-OE group, and CBX2-KD-E1351-STM2457-METTL3-OE-PHPS1 group, as well as statistical analysis graphs of relative protein expression levels. GAPDH was as a control protein; ( B ) Western Blot analysis of protein bands for p-PI3K, Slug, and Snail, along with statistical analysis graphs of relative protein expression levels. GAPDH was as the control protein; ( C ) Statistical analysis chart of the Co-IP experiment analyzing the interaction between endogenous CBX2 and CEP55 in SCC-25 cells.
