Figure 7. (A) PER2 and p53 protein expression in PLC/PRF/5 parental, PLC/PRF/5 PER2 KD, PLC/PRF/5 PER2 KO, PLC/PRF/5 EveR, and PLC/PRF/5 SorR cells. White arrows indicate the co-expression of PER2 and p53 proteins. The data presented in the graphs are mean ± SEM of two independent experiments. *P < 0.05, ****P < 0.0001; (B) Protein-Protein Interaction Networks Functional Enrichment Analysis using STRING software to analyze and visualize the network connection among PER2, MDM2, p53, p21, and c-MYC; (C) Western blot analysis of PER2, MDM2, p53, p21, and c-MYC parental PLC/PRF/5, PLC/PRF/5 PER2 KD, PLC/PRF/5 PER2 KO, PLC/PRF/5 EveR, and PLC/PRF/5 SorR cells. PER2: Period 2; KD: knockdown; KO: knockout; EveR: everolimus-resistant; SorR: sorafenib-resistant; SEM: standard error of the mean; MDM2: mouse double minute 2 homolog; c-MYC: cellular myelocytomatosis oncogene.
