c-Met expression in two stable cell lines in the presence or absence of Tet and/or HGF. The total cell lysate (100 μg) from the treated cell lines was initially precipitated by the phosphorylated tyrosine antibody (p-Tyr), and then blotted with c-Met antibody to evaluate the phosphorylation of c-Met. The expression level of c-Met protein was measured by Western blotting. β-actin was used as an internal control. The intensity of each band in the gel was quantified by densitometry analysis using VisionWorks™ LS image acquisition and analysis software (UVP, USA) and labeled under each band. A: Both NIH/3T3 and NIH-Met5 cells were treated with or without Tet for 24 h, and then replaced with HGF (30 ng/ml) for 10 min. B: The stable human bladder cancer cell line T24-Met3 was maintained in the medium in the presence or absence of Tet for 24 h.
