Figure 3 Invitro anchor independent assay of Caco-2 and LoVo colon cancer cell line. Sorted cells were cultured for 2 wk in soft agar before analysis. A-F: Representative images of colonies formed by cells with different leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5/enhanced yellow fluorescent protein levels in Caco-2 cell line (A) and in LoVo cell line (B). Scale bar, 50 µm; the (C) and (E) number, and (D) and (F) size of colonies formed by Caco-2 and LoVo clones respectively were assessed using crystal violet staining. Colonies larger than 0.25 mm in diameter were then counted. Columns and error bars represent means ± SD of two independent experiments using duplicate measurements in each experiment. aP < 0.05. LGR5: Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5; YFP: Yellow fluorescent protein; EYFP: Enhanced yellow fluorescent protein.
