Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) positively regulates itself by activating the spleen tyrosine kinase–nuclear factor of activated T cells (Syk–NFAT) pathway in colorectal cancer cells. (a) Relative mRNA expression of NFAT family members in SW480/Ctrl, SW480/ANGPTL2-1, or SW480/ANGPTL2-2 cells (n = 3). (b) Nuclear translocation of NFATc3 in SW480/Ctrl or SW480/ANGPTL2-1 cells. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Arrowheads indicate overlap of NFATc3 and DAPI staining. Scale bar = 50 μm. (c) Relative expression of endogenous ANGPTL2 mRNA in SW480/Ctrl or SW480/ANGPTL2-1 cells, either non-treated (control) or treated with the NFAT inhibitor cyclosporin A (CsA) (n = 3). Data from non-treated SW480/Ctrl cells was set at 1. Error bars show SEM. **P < 0.01.
