Twist induces the expression of CD44. (a-c) The expression of CD44 in Hela and MCF7 cells and their corresponding Twist-overexpressing stable transfectants were analyzed by Western blotting (a), immunofluorescent staining (b), and FACS (c). (d) CD44 promoter luciferase plasmid was expressed in Hela and MCF7 cells and their corresponding Twist-overexpressing stable transfectants. After 48 hr, luciferase activity was measured by using a Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay (Promega) (mean ± SD of three separate experiments). * and # P < 0.05 for Hela and MCF7 cells compared with their corresponding Twist-overexpressing cells.
