DUSP5 regulation of basal ERK signaling in CRC cells. (A) Relationship between DUSP5 expression and levels of phosphorylated and total ERK1/2 in nuclear extracts of CRC cell lines. HDAC3 was used as loading control. (B) Analysis of the correlation between DUSP5 expression normalized to HDAC3 and the p-ERK2/ERK2 ratio following densitometric analysis of the data shown in (A). (C) Effect of DUSP5 knockdown in RKO cells on cytoplasmic and nuclear levels of phosphorylated and total ERK1/2, and ERK-mediated phosphorylation of the transcription factor FRA1 (FOSL1). BRAF was used as cytoplasmic marker. (D) Effect of DUSP5 knockdown on expression of the ERK-regulated genes FOSL1 and FOS in RKO cells. (E) Effect of DUSP5 knockdown on proliferation of RKO cells grown under normal (10% FCS) or low (1% FCS) serum conditions. *P < 0.05.
