Both Daple-fl and Daple-V2 isoforms are downregulated during adenoma-to-carcinoma conversion. (A,B) Expression of Daple protein was analyzed in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded human tissues (normal, adenomas and carcinomas) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using anti-Daple-CT antibody that can detect both Daple-fl and Daple-V2 isoforms. Left: Representative tissues from each stained category are shown. Brown = positive stain. Right: Bar graphs display the proportion of samples in each category that stained positive vs. negative. (C) Schematic summarizing profile of expression of Daple-fl and Daple-V2 isoforms during cancer initiation and metastatic progression in the colon. Upper: Various steps and histopathological stages of colorectal cancer progression are shown. Major genetic mutations/ deletions of key genes that herald the step-wise progression are indicated. Daple (both Daple-fl and Daple-V2) are decreased during adenoma to carcinoma progression (red box). Later, during cancer progression and systemic dissemination, total levels of Daple go up (green box), largely owing to an upregulation of its full-length (Daple-fl) transcript. Lower: Changes in the profile of expression of both Daple isoforms (Daple V2 = green; Daple-fl = purple) and their relationship to the previously identified patterns of non-canonical Wnt signaling (gray) is shown.
