a Immunoblotting analysis of SOX2 from the MDA-MB-231 cells treated with Eer I or NMS-873. GAPDH serves as a loading control. b Immunoblotting analysis of c-MYC from Eer I and NMS-873 treated MDA-MB-231 cells. GAPDH serves as a loading control. c Immunoblotting analysis of c-MYC from the MDA-MB-231 cells with p97 silenced. β-actin serves as a loading control. d c-MYC expression correlates with that of p97 in human breast cancer tissues. Left: representative immunohistochemical staining of c-MYC and p97 in the consecutive serial sections of breast cancer tissues. c-MYC and p97 expressions were classified as low and high. Bar: upper 200 μm, lower 50 μm. Right: correlation analyses of c-MYC and SOX2 expression in breast cancer tissues (n = 98). e, f Immunoblotting analysis of SKP2 from Eer I and NMS-873 treated MDA-MB-231 cells or MDA-MB-231 cells with p97 silenced. GAPDH serves as a loading control. g SKP2 expression correlates with that of p97 in human breast cancer tissues. Left: representative immunohistochemical staining of SKP2 and p97 in the consecutive serial sections of breast cancer tissues. SKP2 and p97 expressions were classified as low or high. Bar: upper 200 μm, lower 50 μm. Right: correlation analyses of SKP2 and p97 expression in breast cancer tissues (n = 75). h Immunoblotting analysis of SOX2 and SKP2 from mammospheres and adherent MDA-MB-231 cells. β-actin serves as a loading control. i Immunoblotting analysis of SOX2 and SKP2 from mammospheres with SKP2 silenced. β-actin serves as a loading control. j Mammosphere formation of MDA-MB-231 cells with SKP2 silenced. Left: the number of spheres under each treatment. Right: representative images. Bar: upper 100 μm. Data were shown as mean + SD. ***P < 0.001.
