Figure Lengend Snippet: SOCS3 overexpression or the JAK2 inhibitor reverses the inhibitory effects of SPTBN1 on cell viability and migration. ( A , B ) In vitro cell migration assay. * P < 0.05 vs LV-RFP+LV-GFP, # P < 0.05 vs LV-SPTBN1sh+LV-GFP, n=3. ( C , D ) Comparison of protein ( C ) and mRNA ( D ) levels of the EMT-related proteins E-cadherin (E-cad) and Vimentin (Vim). The expression of SOCS3 and E-cadherin was decreased and Vimentin was increased by the loss of SPTBN1, while SOCS3 overexpression reversed the effects of the loss of SPTBN1. * P <0.05 ** P <0.01 vs LV-RFP+LV-GFP, ## P <0.01 vs LV-SPTBN1sh+LV-GFP, n=3. ( E – H ) Cell viability was determined by CCK8 assay. SOCS3 overexpression reversed the enhanced cell viability due to the loss of SPTBN1 in A2780 ( E ) and HO8910 cells ( F ). # P <0.05, ## P <0.01 vs LV-RFP+LV-GFP, * P <0.05 vs LV-SPTBN1sh+LV-GFP, n=3. The JAK2 inhibitor Ag490 or tofacitinib (Tofa) inhibited cell viability and reversed the promoting effect of the loss of SPTBN1 in A2780 ( G ) and HO8910 cells ( H ). * P <0.05, ** P <0.01 vs LV-RFP, # P <0.05 vs LV-SPTBN1sh, n = 3.
Article Snippet: The primary antibody against SPTBN1 was from GenScript Corporation (Nanjing, China), and other primary antibodies against SOCS3, JAK2, p-JAK2 (Tyr1007/1008), STAT3, p-STAT3 (Tyr705) and EMT-related proteins were from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA). β-Actin (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) as a loading control was also detected.
