Maintenance of SRC-2 levels is required for EC cell accumulation and anchorage-independence. (A) Confirmation of siRNA-mediated knockdown of SRC-1, -2, and -3 by Western blot in EC cell lines. Uncropped images are provided in Supplemental Fig. S1. (B) Downregulation of SRC-2 but not -1 and -3 leads to reduction of cell colony formation by 3 EC cell lines (presented as quantification of extracted crystal violet used to stain formed colonies). (C) DNA content-based proliferation assay of Ishikawa cell line after knockdowns of SRCs demonstrates reduction of cell accumulation when SRC-2 levels are downregulated. (D) Examples of colonies formed by Ishikawa cells in soft agar after transfection with SRC-1, -2, or -3 siRNAs. A colony has been indicated with a white arrowhead. (E) Count of colonies formed in soft agar assay as shown in (D).
