From: Chondroitin sulfates play a major role in breast cancer metastasis: a role for CSPG4 and CHST11gene expression in forming surface P-selectin ligands in aggressive breast cancer cells

Figure 5

Expression of CSPG4 leads to an increase in CS-A expression and P-selectin binding. A) Secondary Ab binding (control) to CSPG-4-transfected M14 (M14-CSPG4). Anti-CSPG4 (mAb 225.28) binding to M14-mock-transfected is minimal (B), while the binding is high to CSPG4-transfected cells (C). D) Overlay histogram of 2H6 mAb (anti-CS-A) binding to the M14-mock-transfected (filled histogram) and M14-CSPG4 cell line (open histogram). E) P-selectin binds to M14-CSPG4 (open histogram, solid line) and not to M14-mock-transfected (filled histogram). Binding of P-selectin to M14-CSPG4 is reduced after treatment with chondroitinase ABC (dotted line shifted to the left). The experiment was repeated three times and one representative is shown.
