a Heat map of HOXB4 RNA-seq results. All enriched features of the enriched gene sets, which were filtered and analyzed by GSEA analysis of HOXB4 RNA-seq data, were shown between the vector control (Vector) and HOXB4-overexpressing (HOXB4) HeLa cells. Gene expression values were represented as colors, where the range of colors (red, pink, light blue, dark blue) showed the range of expression values (high, moderate, low, lowest). n = 3 per group. bg Expression of β-catenin and c-Myc. The mRNA levels of HOXB4, β-catenin, and c-Myc were detected by qRT-PCR in HOXB4-overexpressing HeLa (b) and C-33A (d) cells, as well as in HOXB4-depleted SiHa (f) cells. Data were normalized to GAPDH. The protein expression of HOXB4, total β-catenin, nuclear β-catenin, and c-Myc was assessed in HOXB4-modified HeLa (c), C-33A (e), and SiHa (g) cells by western blot and normalized to GAPDH and histone H3 (H3) respectively. hj Inactivation of the Wnt/β-catenin reporter luciferase by HOXB4. HeLa (h), C-33A (i), or SiHa (j) cells transfected with the indicated plasmids were analyzed by β-catenin reporter luciferase assays (TOPFlash (TOP) and FOPFlash (FOP)).
