SEMA3C promotes cell dissemination in vivo. RWPE-2 cells were made to stably overexpress SEMA3C and firefly luciferase by lentiviral transduction to generate RWPE-2-FUGWBW and RWPE-2-SEMA3C. SEMA3C overexpression and phosphorylated and total levels of Akt, EGFR, and MAPK were examined by Western blot analysis. (a) Western blot band intensity was quantitated by densitometry (a, right); ‘F’ = FUGWBW, ‘S’ = SEMA3C. Cell viability of RWPE-1-FUGWBW, RWPE-1-SEMA3C, RWPE-2-FUGWBW, and RWPE-2-SEMA3C was compared; (b) data represent mean viability over day 1 ± SD; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 where significance is measured between RWPE-2-FUGWBW and RWPE-2-SEMA3C. (c) IVIS measurements of NOD scid gamma mice xenografted with RWPE-2-FUGWBW and RWPE-2-SEMA3C by ultrasound-guided intracardiac injection; measurements were taken at 7 weeks post-inoculation. Data represents mean radiance ± SEM; p = 0.09995.
