Serine deprivation increased the expression of PHGDH in colon cancer. (A) Quantification of PHGDH mRNA levels in colon cancer cells (SW620, SW480, HT29 and HCT116) cultured in basic and serine-deprived medium for 24 h. Error bars represent mean  ±  SD (n  =  3). *p< 0.05. (B) Immunoblotting analysis of PHGDH protein expression in colon cancer cells (SW620, SW480, HT29 and HCT116) cultured in basic and serine-deprived medium for 24 h. (C) and (d) SW620 was cultured in basic and serine-deprived medium and harvested at the indicated hours; mRNA levels and protein levels (D) of PHGDH. Error bars represent mean  ±  SD (n  =  3), *p< 0.05. (E) Immunoblotting analysis of ATF4 protein expression in SW620 cells cultured in basic and serine-deprived medium for 12 h and harvested at the indicated hours. (F) and (G) SW620 transfected with indicated si-ATF4 (1#, 2#) and cultured in basic and serine-deprived medium; the mRNA expressions of ATF4 and PHGDH, and protein levels of PHGDH. Error bars represent mean  ±  SD (n  =  3), *p< 0.05.
