Nuclear low-molecular weight (LMW) β-catenin predominates in colon cancer IEC. Protein isolates from biopsy-derived normal and colorectal cancer (CRC) IEC were probed with antibodies specific for distinct β-catenin epitopes. (A) Normal and CRC IEC fraction lysates (cytosolic (Cyto), membrane (Memb) and nuclear (Nucl) were probed sequentially for β-catenin antibodies directed to different epitopes as shown. Purity controls were achieved by probing for α-tubulin (cytosol), E-cadherin (membrane) and lamin B1 (nucleus). (B) Nuclear lysates from normal and CRC biopsies were probed for phospho-β-cateninSer552 (pβ-Cat552). WB for lamin B1 serves as loading control. Arrows indicate positions of LMW β-catenin. Full size membrane scans for WBs can be seen in Suppl. Fig. SS1.
