a Top: the strategy to construct truncated N1ICD plasmids; Bottom: co-IP followed by western blotting assay to detect N1DARP-interacting N1ICD truncations. b Notch signaling and its crosstalk with other pathways detected using western blotting assay using Capan1 transfected with N1DARP and individual domain of N1ICD. c Molecular docking using CABS-dock and PyMOL assessing electrostatic attraction and identifying key amino acids that mediate N1DARP–ANK interaction. d Western blotting assay detecting N1DARP–N1ICD interaction in HEK293T transfected with wild-type N1DARP or its key amino acid mutants. e Stem cell properties assessed by western blotting assay using Capan1 with wild-type N1DARP or its Y20/Y34 mutant. f The segregating effect of N1DARP on RBPJ–N1ICD interaction detected using western blotting assay. g N1DARP–N1ICD interaction detected using western blotting assay with Capan1 transfected with wild-type N1ICD or its M1 and M2 mutants. h Notch signaling and its crosstalk with other pathways detected by western blotting assay using Capan1 transfected with N1DARP or N1ICD-M1M2 mutant. i, j Cell proliferation detected using (i) colony formation assay and (j) chemosensitivity assessed using IC50 assay using Capan1 transfected with N1DARP or wild-type N1ICD and its M1M2 mutant. k The tumor volume of subcutaneously injected xenograft model using Capan1 transfected with N1DARP or N1ICD wild-type and its M1M2 mutant. l The apoptosis rate detected by flow cytometry using subcutaneously injected tumor derived from Capan1 transfected with N1DARP or wild-type N1ICD and its M1M2 mutant on day 35 after transplantation. m Notch signaling and its crosstalk with other pathways detected by western blotting assay using N1ICD-knockout Capan1 transfected with N1DARP and wild-type N1ICD or its M1M2 mutant. The data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. ns no significance; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 by Student’s t-test (i, l); *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 by one-way ANOVA (j, k).
