Published customer image: Correlation between SLAMF3 expression and HCC cell proliferation.(A) Effects of the introduction of specific siRNAs on SLAMF3 expression in Huh-7 cells. Cells were transiently transfected with a scrambled siRNA (Sc) or one of two pre-designed anti-SLAMF3 siRNAs (referred to as #2 and # 3); SLAMF3 expression was measured by Western blot analysis (anti-SLAMF3, K12). One representative of two independent experiments is shown. (B) siRNA-treated Huh-7 cells were cultured and proliferation was assayed in a Trypan blue exclusion test after 48 h. Proliferation is presented as the mean number of viable cells +/- SD (n = 5; statistical significance: ***p

Staining of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with Mouse anti Human CD229 : RPE

Published customer image SLAMF3 over-expression increases hepatocyte permissiveness to HCV. Huh-7 cells were transfected with empty vector pBud (mock) or human SLAMF3 (to yield Huh-7+ cells) and incubated with HCVcc. (A) SLAMF3 expression was analyzed by flow cytometry (HLy9.1.25 clone) and (B) visualized by confocal microscopy in one out of three experiment. Unshaded histograms show the isotype-matched control (Co) and shaded histograms show SLAMF3 expression). (C, D, E) Infection was assessed at 4 and 72 h p.i. as the number of FFUs and (F and G) by flow cytometry analysis; (C) intracellular E2 (stained red) were measured at 4 h and 72 h p.i. Green staining corresponds to the SLAMF3 expression. One of three representatives independent experiments is shown. (D) The HCV permissiveness of Huh-7 mock and Huh-7+ cells was evaluated in terms of the number of FFUs based on intracellular E2 viral protein staining and (E) fluorescent microscopy analysis (mean of five experiments; error bars: SD; *p

Published customer image: SLAMF3 expression is repressed in tumour cells from ten resected HCC patients. (A) SLAMF3 mRNA expression was analysed in hepatocytes from resected HCC patients. Specific amplification of SLAMF3 mRNAs using PCR (representative patients #2, #7 and #12) and quantitative PCR in tumour tissues (T) and peritumoral tissues (pT) presented separately (B) and as median (**p

Published customer image: Restoration of SLAMF3 expression in HCC cells inhibits MAPK ERK1/2, JNK and mTOR pathways and induces caspase-dependent apoptosis.(A) SLAMF3 expression was confirmed by Western blot analysis in SLAMF3-over-expressing Huh-7 and mock cells at 48 h post-transfection. ERK1/2, JNK, p38, AKT and mTOR proteins were detected as controls. The activation levels of MAPK ERK1/2 (Thr 202/Tyr 204), JNK (Thr 183/Tyr 185), p38 (Thr 180/Tyr 183), PI3K (p85/p110 Thr 467/Tyr 199), AKT (Ser 473, Thr 308) and mTOR (Ser 2448, Ser 2481) are represented. One of three representative experiments is shown here. (B) The results of an active caspase assay based on cell-permeable fluorochrome inhibitor of caspases (FLICA). Caspase activity was evaluated in HCC cells (Huh-7 and HepG2 lines) at the indicated times after the ectopic introduction of SLAMF3 vector. Caspase activity is shown in the SLAMF3neg subpopulation (in white) and the SLAMF3pos (overlaid in grey) subpopulation from one representative of two independent experiments.From: Marcq I, Nyga R, Cartier F, Amrathlal RS, Ossart C, et al.

Published customer imageSLAMF3 blockade in human hepatocytes is associated with lower susceptibility to HCV. (A) SLAMF3 was stained in primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) and cells from the Huh-7 human hepatoma cell line with a specific antibody (HLy9.1.25 clone; grey) and an isotype-matched control (empty). One of four independent experiments is shown. Huh-7 cells were transfected with scrambled control (sc) siRNA or three specific siRNAs (#1, #2 and #3) targeting SLAMF3, prior to infection with HCVcc; siRNA efficiency was checked by quantifying SLAMF3 mRNA (B) and the CD81 expression level (C) by flow cytometry analysis at 48 h post-transfection. Results are presented as the mean +/-SD (n = 3). Intracellular viral RNA was quantified at 72 h p.i.
