Figure 4. KCTD11 inhibits cell adhesion by decreasing CLDN1 and CTGF.

Figure 4

(A) The genome-wide gene expression affected by KCTD11 overexpression in an Affymetrix Human U133 plus 2.0 array. (Fold change > 2.0 and p < 0.05) (B) Gene Ontology analysis of the genes regulated by KCTD11 overexpression. (C) After KCTD11 up-regulated, the expressions of CLDN1, CTGF, COL3A1, ATP2A2 and CD24 are detected by western blot. Beta-actin is used as a loading control. (D) Overexpression of KCTD11 inhibits cell adhesion in Huh7 and HCCLM3. Data is from three independent experiments and expressed as mean ± SD. *P<0.05. (E) Predicted protein bindings involving protein CTGF. (F) Co-immunoprecipitation assay confirms the protein binding between CTGF and COL3A1. (G) Knockdown of CTGF results in up-regulating of COL3A1 in western blot assay. Beta-actin is used as a loading control.
