Figure 2From: Changes in the expression of proteins associated with aerobic glycolysis and cell migration are involved in tumorigenic ability of two glioma cell lines Functional analysis of cell lineages and expression of GRP78. A) The U87MG cell line shows a higher proliferation rate than the T98G cell line. Cells were counted in a Neubauer chamber at 24 h intervals; B) Thapsigargin decreased tumor cell migration. A transwell migration assay was carried out in U87MG and T98G cells after 18 h of incubation with or without 1 μM thapsigargin. Cells that migrated to the low chamber were fixed, stained, and counted as described in Materials and Methods. C) Thapsigargin increased GRP78 expression. Western blot analysis with anti-GRP78 antibody was carried out in both cell lines after 24 h of incubation with 1 μM thapsigargin. Expression of β-actin in cell lysates was used as a control.Back to article page
