Fig. 9. Gas6/MerTK signaling promotes NSCLC cell proliferation.
a EdU assay was performed in H1299 and HCC827 cells transfected with si-MerTK or si-NC with or without Gas6 stimulation for 24 h (Scale bar: 2 mm). b Western blot assay of p-MerTK, MerTK, p-AKT, AKT, p-Erk and Erk. c The proposed mechanistic model underlying the nPD-L1-mediated Gas6/MerTK signaling stimulating NSCLC cell proliferation. Data were presented as the mean ± SD. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA analysis followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 vs. control or as indicated.
