STAT6 Expression in GBM cells. Figure 1a: Western blot comparing expression of STATs 1-6 in NHA and three GBM cell lines. STATs 1, 3, 5a, 5b and 6 are over-expressed in at least one GBM cell line compared to the non-malignant astrocytes. STAT4 was not expressed in GBM or NHA. Figure 1b: Real-time (quantitative) PCR showing increased STAT6 mRNA in 2 of 3 GBM cell lines compared to NHA. mRNA expression was normalized by the geometric mean of the housekeeping genes beta actin and HPRT.
