Re-expression of SNF5 in MRT lines abrogates FGFR expression.

(A) Immunoblot analysis (left panel) of FGFR2 protein expression in G401 cells five days post retroviral transduction of SNF5. β-Tubulin expression was used to monitor equal loading. FGFR2 mRNA levels (right panel) were determined by qRT-PCR. Expression is shown as relative levels to control infected cells. Data are given as average with SEM (n = 3). FGFR2 mRNA expression values were normalized to GAPDH mRNA copies. Data were compared by unpaired Student’s t test; *p<0.05. (B) Analysis of FGFR1 protein and mRNA expression in G402 cells upon re-expression of SNF5 as described in (A).
