Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunoprecipitation assays obtain silver-stained bands of proteins binding to EMP1-FLAG ( A ); and LC-MS/MS analysis to demonstrate the binding sites of EMP1 and VASP ( B ); In PANC-1 and AsPC-1, Co-IP experiments depict the interactions between EMP1 and VASP ( C ); Immunofluorescence staining of PANC-1 and AsPC-1 demonstrating colocalization of EMP1 and VASP , red ( VASP ), green ( EMP1 ) and blue ( DAPI ) ( D ); Analysis of IGF2BP3 , EMP1 , with VASP correlation in the TCGA-PAAD dataset ( E , F ); Diagram of docking patterns of VASP and SMAD7 proteins ( G ); Immunofluorescence staining of PANC-1 and AsPC-1 demonstrating colocalization of VASP and SMAD7 , red ( VASP ), green ( SMAD7 ) and blue ( DAPI ) ( H ); In PANC-1 and AsPC-1, Co-IP demonstrates the interactions of VASP and SMAD7 ( I) and EMP1 expression affects this binding relation ( J); Western blot detection of EMP1-VASP-SMAD7 axis regulation of TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway in PANC-1 and AsPC-1 ( K) . Scale: 20 μm. ***, P < 0.001.
