p63 expression pattern in BCSCs and during differentiation. (a) p63 expression pattern in BCSCs. TAp63 (left) and ΔNp63 (right) expression levels in BCSC#1, BCSC#2 and BCSC#3 were assessed by qRT-PCR. All three stem cell lines tested show p63 detectable levels. (b) Western blot analysis of p63 protein levels in BCSC#1, BCSC#2 and BCSC#3 normalized with Actin levels. Numbers on the left indicate molecular weight (KDa) and symbol on the right indicate * Tap63 and ** ΔNp63, respectively. (c) EGFR protein levels in BCSC#1 infected with p63 silencing (shp63) lentivector. p63 silencing leads to EGFR downregulation. (d) ΔNp63 and not Tap63 regulates EGFR expression. Western blot of EGFR protein levels in BCSC#1 infected with TAp63 or ΔNp63 overexpression lentivector or a control vector (Empty). (e) p63 expression pattern in BCSC#1, BCSC#2 and BCSC#3 and SDAC collected at 3.5 and 7 differentiation days. Western blot of p63 levels shows an increase of both TAp63 and ΔNp63 isoforms during differentiating condition (middle: long exposure to better evaluate p63 expression in all three BCSC lines)
