Inhibition of beta-catenin activity attenuates The Sam68-induced breast cancer stem cell renewal phenotype. (A) Western blotting analysis to confirm the knockdown or overexpression of TCF4 or LEF1 in the indicated cells. (B) Luciferase-reporter assay of TCF/LEF transcriptional activity in the indicated cells. Experiments in A to I were repeated at least 3 times with similar results; error bars in A, B, C, and D are mean ± SD. ∗P < 0.05. (C) Representative micrographs (left) and quantification (right) of mammosphere formation. (D) Detection of the proportion of SP cells by flow cytometry.
