GLI1 protein levels are unchanged following S6K1 knockdown. Western blot analysis of GLI1 and S6K1 protein expression in SK-N-AS cells, following siRNA-mediated knockdown of GLI1 and S6K1. Note the reduction of the GLI1 and S6K1 protein bands by the siRNAs targeting GLI1 (siGLI1) and S6K1 (siS6), respectively. siCN indicates the control siRNA treatment and β-Actin was used as the endogenous protein control. Quantitation of protein expression, using the ImageJ software, is shown in the bar graphs. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM of triplicate values from a representative experiment. *, Statistical significant, P < 0.01 compared to control, calculated by the Student’s t-test using the GraphPad Prism software.
