TWIST1-EP300 Expedites Gastric Cancer Cell Resistance to Apatinib by Activating the Expression of COL1A2

Figure 5

Overexpression of COL1A2 promotes resistance of parental cells to apatinib. GC parental cells were transfected with oe-NC or oe-COL1A2. (a) The mRNA expression of COL1A2 in parental cells by RT-qPCR. (b) The protein expression of COL1A2 in parental cells by western blot. (c) The IC50 values of parental cells by CCK-8 assay. (d) The number of colonies formed by parental MKN-45 and AGS cells treated with 1 μM apatinib. (e) Flow cytometry analysis of the proportion of apoptotic cells in parental MKN-45 and AGS cells. (f) TUNEL analysis of the number of apoptotic bodies in parental MKN-45 and AGS cells. Data indicate of three biological replicates. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison test; (vs. oe-NC).
