Fig. 4. cIAP1/2 may regulate the expression and stability of β-catenin by controlling RIP1 ubiquitination.
A HCT116 and DLD-1 cells were treated with WNT3A for 2 h and IB analysis for detection of RIP1, β-catenin, cIAP1, and cIAP2 was performed. β-Actin was used as the loading control. B IB analysis of RIP1 and β-catenin in HCT116 and DLD-1 cells transfected with siRNAs against cIAP1 (sicIAP1) or cIAP2 (sicIAP2) or control siRNA (siCon), followed by treatment with WNT3A. C HCT116 and DLD-1 cells were immunoprecipitated with β-catenin antibody, and then IB analysis was performed with anti-cIAP1 and cIAP2. D Ubiquitylation assay performed with DLD-1 cells transfected with sicIAP1, sicIAP2 or siCon, followed by sequential treatment with WNT3A with or without 10 μM MG132.
