Article Title: Reducing FASN expression sensitizes acute myeloid leukemia cells to differentiation therapy

doi: 10.1038/s41418-021-00768-1

Figure Lengend Snippet: A FASN mRNA levels in AML blasts, CD34 + progenitor cells and granulocytes from healthy donors were quantified by qPCR. All the samples were obtained from the Inselspital, Bern, Switzerland. AML patient cells and granulocytes were isolated using Ficoll gradient density centrifugation. Values are the differences in Ct-values between FASN and the housekeeping genes HMBS and ABL1. MNW * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.0. B Blood spot data bank analysis of FASN expression in AML blasts compared to granulocytes from healthy donors. MNW * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. C Western blot analysis of FASN regulation in NB4 and HT93 APL cells upon ATRA treatment at different time points (1, 2 and 3 days). Total protein was extracted and submitted to immunoblotting using anti-FASN antibody. Total protein is shown as loading control. The relative protein expressions were normalized to total protein and quantified using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA). Data are represented as a mean ( n = 3), Error bars: SD. D Evaluation of FASN transcript levels upon ATRA treatment was done by qPCR. Values were normalized to the HMBS housekeeping gene. Results of at least three independent experiments are shown as n-fold regulation compared with non-treated cells.

Article Snippet: The human AML cell lines HT93, OCI/AML2, MOLM-13 and NB4 were obtained from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany).

Article Title: Attenuation of MET-mediated migration and invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by SOCS1

doi: 10.3748/wjg.v23.i36.6639

Figure Lengend Snippet: Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 attenuates invasive growth of orthotopic Hepa cell tumors. A: Hepa-V and Hepa-SOCS1 cells were injected via intravenous route into NOD. scid.gamma (NSG) mice and the livers were examined macroscopically after 20 d. Representative images (left) and quantification of the liver tumor nodules (right) from four mice per group are shown; B-D: Hepa-vector and Hepa-SOCS1 were injected via intrasplenic route into NSG mice (1 × 10 6 cells per mouse; n = 6 per group from two separate experiments) and the mice were splenectomized. After 20 d, the liver tissues were examined macroscopically for tumor nodules. The dorsal and ventral views of representative livers (B, left) and H and E-stained sections of a representative liver for each group (B, right) are shown; C: For each group, the areas of thirty random tumor nodules from three different mice were measured digitally using the NDP software and compared by Student’s paired t test; D: Western blot evaluation of STAT3 and ERK phosphorylation in the tumors from 2 mice per group; E: Western blot evaluation of MET expression and its quantification in the tumors from 3 mice per group. SOCS1: Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1.

Article Snippet: Antibodies (Ab) against total ERK (sc-93, sc-153), STAT3 (sc-483) and MET (sc-161) were from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA).
