Figure 3. Importin α1 is released into the extracellular milieu by cell surface importin α1-positive cancer cells.

Figure 3

(a) Subconfluent cancer cells were incubated with fresh medium. After 48 h, supernatants (upper panel) and lysates (lower panel) of cultured cancer cell lines were collected. Immunoblot analysis were performed using antibodies to importin α1 or Lamin A/C (as control). (b) Free importin α1 levels in the conditioned medium of cancer cell lines (HepG2 and AGS) were determined using ELISA. Data are means ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.001.
