Figure Lengend Snippet: Control (Ctrl-shRNA) and TRAIL-R2 knockdown cells (R2-shRNA-1 or R2-shRNA-2) were analyzed in regard to their migration capacity towards SDF-1 in a trans-well assay (A) . Expression of TRAIL-R1, TRAIL-R2, CXCR4 and EGFR was assessed by flow cytometry on non-permeabilized and permeabilized cells (B) and percent of stained cells (C) , as well as staining intensities per cell (D) , relative to non-specific antibody controls, were quantified. Graphs represent average values ± SD. (A: n = 4, B-D: n = 3) (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 *** p < 0.001).
