Figure 4From: Targeting the prohibitin scaffold-CRAF kinase interaction in RAS-ERK-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomaRocA mimics PHB-knockdown effects on EMT markers and reverses EMT in AsPC-1 cells. A. AsPC-1 and Capan-2 cells were lysed and then subjected to immunoblot analysis with the indicated antibodies. B. AsPC-1 cells were transfected with PHB-specific (siPHB) or control (siCon) siRNAs. After 48 h of transfection, the cells were lysed and subjected to immunoblot analysis with the indicated antibodies. C. AsPC-1 cells were treated with RocA (100 nM) or DMSO for 16 h, and then subjected to western blot analysis with the indicated antibodies. D. Morphological changes of PHB-knockdown AsPC-1 cells (B) and RocA-treated AsPC-1 cells (C) treated with control siRNAs (siCon) or DMSO. Scale bars, 25 μm. Results are representative of three independent experiments.Back to article page
