Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. Gene expression induced by U0126 combined with or without oxaliplatin/5‑FU. (A) ERCC1 mRNA levels in SW48 cells were examined by RT‑qPCR following treatment with U0126 and/or oxaliplatin. (B) TYMS mRNA levels in SW48 cells were examined by RT‑qPCR following treatment with U0126 and/or 5‑FU. The graph depicts the fold change in ERCC1/TYMS levels normalized to β‑actin levels. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation. Western blot analysis results of (C) ERCC1 and (D) TYMS protein expression levels in cells treated with U0126 in combination with oxaliplatin or 5‑FU, respectively. **P<0.01 vs. control group; ##P<0.01 vs. oxaliplatin/5‑FU‑treated group. 5‑FU, 5‑fluorouracil; ERCC1, excision repair cross‑complementation group 1; TYMS, thymidylate synthase; RT‑qPCR, reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
Article Snippet: Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) rabbit polyclonal antibody (cat. no. 14586‐1‐AP) and TYMS rabbit polyclonal antibody (cat. no. 15047‐1‐AP) were purchased from ProteinTech Group, Inc. (Wuhan, China).
