From: Regulation of β-catenin by t-DARPP in upper gastrointestinal cancer cells
t-DARPP overexpression leads to up-regulation of β-catenin and its downstream targets. Proteins extracted from MKN28 cells stably expressing t-DARPP (pool) (A) and AGS t-DARPP stables (clones #1 and #2) (B) FLO-1 cells stably expressing t-DARPP (pool) (C) were subjected to immunoblot analysis using t-DARPP, β-catenin, c-MYC, Cyclin D1, GSK-3β, pGSK-3β (Ser9), AKT, pAKT (Ser473), and Actin antibodies. Protein loading was normalized to equal levels of β-actin. Total protein levels of β-catenin and its targets, c-MYC and Cyclin D1, were significantly higher in t-DARPP expressing cells compared to control cells. Both pGSK-3β (Ser9) and pAKT (Ser473) were higher in t-DARPP expressing cells as compared to control.
