Figure 7. VEGFR2 elevation is involved in Klotho-induced anoikis resistance.

Figure 7

(A) Flow cytometry analysis for VEGFR2 expression in huh7 cells transiently transfected with empty vector and Klotho plasmid, respectively. (B) Caspase 3/7 activity assay after detachment for 48 hours, (C) Colony formation assay, and (D) TUNEL assay after 48 hours detachment for Huh7 cells stably transfected with empty vector and Klotho plasmid, respectively, without or with DMSO or VEGFR2 inhibitor Axitinib, and isotype IgG or anti-VEGFR2 blocking antibody treatment. The graphic profiles represent the mean of three independent replicates in each group with standard error bars and were statistically analyzed with a t test (*, P<0.05).
