miR-193a-5p Enhances the Radioresistance of Pancreatic Cancer Cells by Targeting ZFP57 and Activating the Wnt Pathway

Figure 3

The radiosensitivity of BxPC3-RR cells with induced ZFP57 overexpression was evaluated by detecting cancer cell proliferation and viability after transfection with pc DNA 3.0 and exposure to different irradiation doses. (a) The ZFP57 expression was determined in BxPC3-RR cells transfected with pc DNA 3.0 ZFP57 and the corresponding control. The BxPC3-P cells transfected with sh-ZFP57-2 and the corresponding control were exposed to 8 Gy irradiation. Then, (b) the survival fraction of the BxPC3-RR cells was estimated by colony formation assay. (c) CCK-8 assay was performed to assess the BxPC3-RR cell viability. (d) WB assay was performed to determine the expressions of cyclin D1 and CDK4 (cell cycle-related proteins); Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3 (apoptosis-related proteins); γ-H2AX (DNA repair-related protein); and (e) β-catenin and c-Myc expressions. , , and .
