Figure 6 (IMAGE) Impact Journals LLC Caption TCGA analyses (expression, metastasis and prognosis) and possible CD98hc-independent cell-surface expression of LAT1 in human cells. TCGA data (A-C) were obtained from the UCSC Xena browser. (A) Box-whisker plot of the expression of CD98hc (right) /LAT1 (left) in normal and tumor colorectal tissues. P-values were calculated by the Student's t test. (B) Box-whisker plot of the expression of LAT1 in non-metastatic and metastatic ccRCC. The presence of metastasis was determined based on pathological TMN classification. P-values were calculated by the Student's t test. (C) Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with the log rank test of ccRCC and bladder cancer patient. The correlation between mRNA expression (top 25% and lower 25%) and survival was evaluated. (D) Effects of CD98hc-KO on the expression of LAT1. CD98hc in HE293F and SW1116 cells was disrupted by the CRISPR/Cas9-based method, and the expression of CD98hc and LAT1 was analyzed by FCM. (E) WB analysis of LAT1 protein under reducing or non-reducing conditions using various human cell lines. Lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE under reducing or non-reducing conditions, and to WB with anti-LAT1 rabbit pAb.
