Six genes regulate CSC-like functions via the Hedgehog pathway. DM; DMSO. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001. (a,b) GLI-binding activity measured using a luciferase reporter assay. Relative luciferase activities (y-axis) are shown (n = 4). (a) Suppression of the six genes significantly increases GLI-binding activity compared to control cells. (b) Overexpression of sMDL3, VPS45, TLE2 and ZNF498 significantly decrease GLI-binding activity (y-axis) compared to control cells. (c) Cyclopamine inhibits GLI-binding activity, measured using a luciferase reporter assay. (d) Cyclopamine decreases the SP, with the exception of SP cells derived from suppression of MSL3. (e) Cyclopamine decreases sphere forming capacity of SP cells derived from suppression of six genes.
