Figure 4. Effects of wild type or mutant IRP2 transgenes in the expression of known downstream targets within the tumor xenograft.
(A) Extracts from tumor tissue were analyzed by Western blotting with antibodies against HA, TfR1, ferritin, ferroportin, DMT1 and β-actin. (B) Tumor extracts were analyzed for IRE-binding activity by EMSA with a 32P-labeled ferritin IRE probe. (C and D) Analysis of TfR1 and H-ferritin mRNA expression by qPCR.
