Figure 7. Western blot and quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction after knock-down or overexpression of SCRIB in gastric cancer cells. (A) Western blot was performed for SCRIB, FAM83H, β-catenin, active β-catenin, cyclin D1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, TGF-β1, snail, vimentin, MMP2, MMP9, GSK3β, phosphorylated GSK3β, and actin after knock-down or overexpression of SCRIB in MKN-45 and NCI-N87 gastric cancer cells. (B) Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed for SCRIB, FAM83H, β-catenin, cyclin D1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, TGF-β1, snail, vimentin, MMP2, MMP9, and GSK3β after knock-down or overexpression of SCRIB in MKN-45 and NCI-N87 gastric cancer cells. (C) TOPflash luciferase reporter assay was performed by transfecting TOPflash or FOPflash plasmid DNA with pRL-TK Renilla Luciferase plasmid DNA in MKN-45 and NCI-N87 cells with induction of knock-down or overexpression of SCRIB. *; P < 0.05, **; P < 0.001.
