H6 upregulates phosphorylation of STAT3 transcription factor in AGI-101H cell lines Mich1 and Mich2 that elicit expression of melanoma-initiating cell markers ALDH1, CD271, ABCB5, as well as a microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). A. Flow cytometry analysis of STAT3-pY705 and STAT3-pS727 modifications in Mich1 and Mich2 cell lines as well as their Hyper-IL6-modified derivatives. B. Flow cytometry analysis of ALDH1 activity demonstrated with Aldefluor assay. C and D. Flow cytometry analysis of CD44 (C) and CD271 (D) expression on the surface of Mich1 and Mich2 cell lines as well as their Hyper-IL6-modified derivatives. E. Western blot analysis of ABCB5 marker. F. Western blot analysis of MITF. For Western Blot assays, GAPDH was used as an internal control.
