SULF2 is positively correlated with LAPTM4B expression. (A) Quantitative real‐time PCR analysis shows mRNA expression of LAPTM4B and LAPTM5 according to SULF2 status in Huh7 and Hep3B cells. 7C represents Huh7 cells transfected with scrambled shRNA and 7E represents Huh7 cells transfected with SULF2 shRNA. 3C represents Hep3B cells transfected with control plasmid and 3E represents Hep3B cells transfected with SULF2 plasmid. (B) Western blot analysis shows protein expression of LAPTM4B according to SULF2 status in Huh7 and Hep3B cells. Abbreviations: LAPTM4B, lysosome‐associated protein transmembrane 4 beta; LAPTM5, lysosome‐associated protein transmembrane 5; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; SULF2, sulfatase 2.
