Figure 1. Cotransin suppresses the expression of HER3.
A. BT474 cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of CT8 for 24 or 48 hours and cell lysates were assayed by western blotting as indicated. B. Several HER2-amplified cancer cells were treated with increasing concentrations of CT8 for 24 hours and cell lysates were assayed for HER3 expression by western blotting. C. HEK-293 cells were transiently transfected with a pcDNA-DEST40 vector containing the open reading frames of EGFR, HER2, HER3, or HER4, in-frame with a c-terminal V5 tag. Transfectants were treated with 500nM CT8 for 24 hours and subjected to western blot analysis using anti-V5 and anti-actin antibodies.
