Inhibition of SLC39A4 enhances cisplatin resistance in human NSCLC cells. (a) Correlation of SLC39A4 and CD44 expression, Fisher’s Z = 0.26 (95% CI, 0.19–0.33). (b) Correlation of SLC39A4 and CD133 expression, Fisher’s Z = 0.21 (95% CI, 0.14–0.28). (c,d) Analysis of CD44 and CD133 expression by immunofluorescence (c) and western blotting (d) in shSLC39A4 or Ctl A549 cells (scale bar, 50 μm). (e,f) Cisplatin-induced cell death was monitored in CCK-8 arrays (e) and colony formation assays (f,g). Quantitation of colony formation. (hj) Body weight (h) and tumour size (i,j) were used to examine cisplatin sensitivity in shSLC39A4 and Ctl A549 tumour-bearing mice.
