Effect of AZD2014 and rapamycin on EMT in solid tumors of Tsc2+/− mice.
(A) IHC analysis. Adjacent kidney sections prepared from 16-month-old Tsc2+/− mice treated with vehicle, AZD2014, or rapamycin were used to analyze EMT by IHC. Representative IHC-stained images were presented to show protein levels of vimentin, FSP1, and C-cadherin in solid tumors. Black lines are scale bars.
(B) Western blot analysis. Proteins were prepared from solid carcinomas dissected from Tsc2+/− mice treated for 2 months from the age of 14 months with vehicle, AZD2014, or rapamycin. Beta-actin was used as a loading control. Representative Western blots were presented to show expression levels of vimentin and E-cadherin.
