CAPRIN1 Enhances Chemoresistance and Glycolysis in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma via Regulation of ZIC5

Figure 7

Effects of CAPRIN1 on glycolysis and chemoresistance of laryngeal cancer cells depended on ZIC5. TU-177 and TU-177/R cells were also transfected with si-NC plus pSin-vec, si-CAPRIN1#1 plus pSin-vec, or si-CAPRIN1#1 plus pSin-ZIC5. (a and b) The mRNA and protein expression levels of ZIC5 in those transfected cells were determined. (c and d) The cellular uptake of 2-DOG and lactate secretion were determined. (e and f) qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein expression levels of multidrug transporter expression (ABCG2 and ABCB1), respectively. (g and h) Cell viability of these cotransfected TU-177/R cells after 24-h treatment with the indicated dose of cisplatin was determined by using MTT assay and colony formation assay, respectively. The data were shown as . , , and .
