CARF enrichment promoted EMT via activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling. a Immunostaining showing β-catenin expression in control and CARF-enriched cells; nuclear enrichment of β-catenin is clearly seen in the latter in image on the right (×100, marked by arrow). b mRNA expression of transcription factors (SNAIL1, SNAIL2, ZEB1, TWIST1, and CDH1) in control and CARF-enriched cells. c Transcript levels of β-catenin target genes (WNT1, CTNBB1, DVL2, AXIN2, TCF4, and LEF1); quantitation (fold change) is shown on the right. d qPCR-based mRNA quantitation showing increased Wnt3α in CARF-enriched cells. e Immunostaining showing survivin expression. f Immunoblots showing increase in β-catenin and its target proteins viz. survivin, cyclin D1, and SMAD2/3 in CARF-GFP cells. g TCF-β1 and SMAD2/3 immunostaining showing an increase in latter, quantitation shown on right. h Immunoblots showing protein levels of β-catenin and its targets (Survivin, Cyclin D1) in control, IWP2-, PP- and iCRT14-treated control (U2OS pCXNeo), and CARF-enriched (CARF-GFP) cells, quantitation is shown on right. i β-catenin immunofluorescence in IWP2- and PP-treated cells; lack of nuclear β-catenin was observed in PP-treated cells
