API5 expression and its localization in various cervical cancer cell lines. (A) Characterization of API5 expression in various cervical cancer cell lines by western blot analysis. (B) Nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions from HeLa cells were analyzed by western blot analysis. Calnexin and Lamin B1 were used as an index for cytosolic or nuclear fraction, respectively. (C) Confocal fluorescent microscopy was used to further evaluate the distribution of API5 in HeLa cells 24 hrs after transfection of pEGFP-API5. DAPI fluorescent dye was used for a nuclear counterstaining. Magnified images of boxed areas are shown in the lower panels. Arrowheads indicate cytoplasmic EGFP-API5 in the transfected HeLa cells.
