Expression pattern of LINC00337 in cervical cancer and phenotypic characterization of HeLa-SFCs. (A) The expression pattern of LINC00337 in cervical cancer samples (n = 306) and adjacent normal samples (n = 13) from TCGA database. (B) LINC00337 expression was quantified in NCECs and cervical cancer cell lines HeLa, SiHa, CaSki, and C33A using the qRT-PCR analysis, normalized to GAPDH expression; data are shown as mean ± standard deviation of three technical replicates and analyzed by one-way ANOVA (*p < 0.05 vs. NCECs). (C) Identification of CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis; (D) Multi-drug resistance of CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs; CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs were maintained in sphere culture medium separately supplemented with working concentrations of cisplatin, doxorubicin and epirubicin, compared with parental HeLa cells cultured in sphere culture medium without these drugs (×40). (E) The mRNA expression of Nanog, Sox2, and Oct4 in CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs and non-CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs were determined by the qRT-PCR analysis, normalized to GAPDH expression. (F) Representative Western blots of Nanog, Sox2 and Oct4 in CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs and non-CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs and their quantitative analyses. (G) LINC00337 expression was quantified in CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs and non-CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs using the qRT-PCR analysis, normalized to GAPDH expression; data are shown as mean ± standard deviation of three technical replicates and analyzed by non-paired t-test (*p < 0.05 vs. non-CD44+/CD24low/−SFCs).
