Elevated LGR5 promoting cervical cancer cell stemness associated with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. (a, b) Western blot analysis of the protein levels of the stem cell-associated transcription factors OCT4, NANOG, KLF4, ALDH and BMI1 in the LGR5-overexpressing and LGR5-knockdown cervical cancer cells. β-actin was used as a loading control. (cf) The expression of β-catenin in LGR5-overexpressing cervical cancer cell lines and control cells cultured with or without DDK-1 or CHIR-99021. (g, h) The tumorsphere-forming efficiency in modified cervical cancer cells was evaluated after change of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Values are shown as the mean±S.D. of three experiments in duplicate. *P<0.05, **P<0.01; ***P<0.001 versus control using One-Way ANOVA
