Article Title: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors induce c-Kit ligand/Stem Cell Factor and promote stemness in an ARRB1/ β-arrestin-1 dependent manner in NSCLC

doi:

Figure Lengend Snippet: Microarray was performed in ARRB1 depleted and nicotine stimulated A549 cells Nicotine induced and ARRB1 dependent genes from the microarray data were analyzed. We identified differentially regulated genes that were regulated by nicotine in a β-arrestin-1 dependent fashion and top 10 up/down regulated genes from the list were used for prognosis prediction. Assessment of the expression of these genes for smoking revealed that SCF (highlighted in red) strongly differentiated smokers from non-smokers implying an important role of this gene in lung carcinogenesis induced by smoking

Article Snippet: A human lung cancer tissue microarray slide (Catalog number IMH-358; Imgenex, San Diego, CA) was immunostained for SCF.

doi: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18247

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. RAGE immunoblotting analysis of human intestine. SDS-PAGE of lung lysate (1.5 μg/lane) as well as lysates from small intestine (SI) and colon (50 μg/lane) was performed under reducing conditions. Membranes were stained with three different anti-RAGE antibodies; SC A11 (A), AF1145 (B), and AB D01P (C). Membranes were also stained with the respective secondary antibodies only (negative control). GAPDH was used as a loading control. The uncropped images are shown in the supplementary material of the manuscript.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 4. (A) RAGE immunoblotting analysis of human lung lysate. SDS-PAGE of lung lysate (1 μg/lane; PNGase F -) and deglycosylated lung lysate (1 μg/lane; PNGase F +) was performed under reducing conditions. Membranes were stained with four different anti-RAGE antibodies. Membranes were also stained with the respective secondary antibodies only (negative control). GAPDH was used as a loading control. (B) RAGE immunoblotting analysis of RAGE overexpressing (+) and control (−) HEK293T cells. SDS-PAGE was performed under reducing conditions. For WB analysis membranes were stained with anti-FLAG and anti-RAGE (AB D01P) antibodies. The uncropped images are shown in the supplementary material of the manuscript.

SDS-PAGE of lung lysate (1 μg/lane) as well as lysates from the placentas (25 μg/lane) was performed under reducing conditions. For WB analysis membranes were stained with three different anti-RAGE antibodies; SC A11 (A), AF1145 (B), and AB D01P (C). Membranes were also stained with the respective secondary antibodies only (negative control). Ponceau S staining was used as a loading control.

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A–C ) Kaplan-Meier curves for OS and FP in NSCLC ( A ) LUAD ( B ) and LUSC patients ( C ). ( D ) COX6B2 mRNA expression (RNA-seq RSEM, log2(norm count +1)) from TCGA Lung Cancer dataset. Bars represent median (normal: n = 110; tumor: n = 1017). P values calculated by Mann-Whitney test. ( E–F ) Whole tissue homogenates of LUAD tumors ( E ) and LUAD cell line lysates ( F ) were immunoblotted with indicated antibodies. Molecular weight (MW) markers are indicated. ( G ) IHC staining of non-malignant testis (a positive control), non-malignant lung (adjacent normal) and LUAD tissues. Scores ranged from 0 to 3. Scale bar, 50 μm. Bars represent mean ± SEM. p-Values calculated by Mann-Whitney test. ( H ) Representative confocal images of endogenous COX6B2 in HCC515 cells. Tom20 is used as a mitochondrial marker.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Increased vasorin expression in human lung cancer and HBECs exposed to tobacco carcinogens . (A) Tissue arrays were stained for vasorin with immunohistochemistry. The normal airway and alveolar epithelial cells are weakly positive while the tumor cells are strongly positive. (B) Results of tissue arrays with comparison of the staining between vasorin and normal lung epithelial cells. (C) Vasorin was examined in nontransformed (HBEC-1 and -2) and lung cancer cell lines. Relative vasorin fold increase (HBEC-2 was set to 1) was shown. (D) BEAS-2B and HBEC-2 cells were treated with CSE for 24 hours.
