Effects of PTK7 knockdown on FGFR1 activation and cell proliferation in ESCC cell lines. PTK7-knockdown (PTK7-KD-6434) lentiviruses were transiently infected to ESCC TE-6, TE-9, TE-10, and TE-11 cells. A) Western blot analysis with or without stimulation with aFGF for phospho-tyrosine (pY) following reciprocal immunoprecipitation of FGFR1 with PTK7 in PTK7-knockdown TE-6, TE-9, TE-10, and TE-11 cells. An empty vector served as the negative control and GAPDH served as the loading control. B) Quantification of proliferation (MTT assay) of TE-6, TE-9, TE-10, and TE-11 cell lines lacking PTK7 following stimulation with aFGF or bFGF for 24 or 48 h. Each bar represents the mean ± sd from 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined by unpaired, 2-tailed Student’s t test. The P value is shown as a number with e-notation above the bar or not significant (n.s.).
