Figure 7From: Down-regulation of the cancer/testis antigen 45 (CT45) is associated with altered tumor cell morphology, adhesion and migrationCT45 influences the expression of syncrip. (A) L428 and HT1080 cells were transfected with scrRNA or CT45 siRNA, respectively. 72 h after transfection, Western blot analyses of cell lysates were performed using antibodies specific for CT45 (Ki-A10 for L428 cells, and Ki-CT45-2 for HT1080 cells), syncrip and ß-actin (as loading control). 72 h after down-regulation of CT45, syncrip is also down-regulated in both cell lines. (B) In parallel, immunofluorescence staining for syncrip of scrRNA-transfected and CT45 siRNA-transfected HT1080 cells was performed. DAPI was used for visualization of the nuclei. White bars indicate 20 μm.Back to article page
