It is well established that FAS is pro-apoptotic and, consistent with this, FAS expression was up-regulated upon JNK2 silencing, down-regulated upon c-Jun silencing, and these opposing effects were cancelled following JNK2 plus c-Jun co-silencing (Fig. 8B and 8C).
As a secreted protein DSPP represents an ideal target for a shRNA-mediated silencing, and by analyzing the functional effects of DSPP-silencing in OSC2, we show that DSPP-silencing down-regulates key proteins involved in tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and local invasion.
