Figure 6

(a) Schematic illustration of the sgRNA sequence cloned into the pX459 vector used to generate GPER knockout (KO) in MDA-MB-231 cells. (b) Protein expression levels of GPER in GPER (WT) and GPER (KO) MDA-MB-231 cells, as evaluated by western blotting analysis. β-Actin served as loading control. Immunoblots shown are representative of three independent experiments. Original blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 1. GPER (WT) and GPER (KO) (c) MDA-MB-231 cells are treated for 72 h with either vehicle or increasing concentrations of ERα17p and peptide 2. The growth of cells receiving vehicle is set as 100%, upon which the viability of cells treated with ERα17p and peptide 2 is calculated. Values shown are mean ± SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicate. (*) p < 0.05.
