Figure Lengend Snippet: MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with oligonucleotides targeting NR4A1 ( A ), NR4A2 ( B ), Sp1 ( C ), Sp4 ( D ) and Sp3 ( E ), and after 72 h, whole cell lysates were analyzed by Western blots and quantified as outlined in the “Methods”. F Effects of Sp1 overexpression on CD71 were obtained by transfection of the p CVM-Sp1 expression plasmid and subsequent western blot analysis of whole cell lysates and quantified as outlined in the “Methods”. Cells were treated with 10 µM DIM-3,5-CI 2 ( G ) and DIM-3-CI-5-CF 3 ( H ) for up to 24 h, and effects on CD71, Sp1 and Sp4 (separate blot) were determined by Western blots of whole cell lysates and quantified as outlined in the “Methods”.
