Effects of IL13Rα2 expression on the in vitro proliferation of SK-MEL-28 melanoma cells. The SK-MEL-28 cells were transfected with the expression plasmid encoding IL13Rα2 to establish SK-IL13Rα2 to study the effect of IL13Rα2 on cell proliferation. (A) The expression of IL13Rα2 in the SK-MEL-28, SK-IL13Rα2 and A375 (IL13Rα2-positive) cells was determined by qRT-PCR. (B) 2 × 104 of SK-MEL-28 and SK-IL13Rα2 cells were seeded into 6-well plates and were allowed to grow for 5 days. The cells were harvested and were counted on the indicated day. All values are shown as the ratios to the number of the seeded cells on day 0 and are mean ± SD. *p < 0.05; Student’s t-test.
