Recombinant human RSPO2 protein (3266-rs-025/cf) and Wnt3a (5036-WN-500) was purchased from R&D Systems (USA). The FAK inhibitor defactinib (1073154-85-4) was purchased from RayStar Biosystems (China). The Src inhibitor
saracatinib (S1006) and Akt inhibitor
LY294002 (S1105) were purchased from Selleck (China). The Frizzled inhibitor
Niclosamide was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO).
Cycloheximide(CHX) was purchased from Sigma (C7698).
SiRNAs targeting the open reading frames of RSPO2, LGR4, ITGAV, and ITGB3 were synthesized by GenePharma (Shanghai, China). Lentivirus containing shRNA against RSPO2 was designed and produced by GeneChem Co. (Shanghai, China), siRNA and shRNA sequences are listed in
Table S1. Cells grown to a confluence of 50–70% were transfected with siRNA using
Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and plated again for further experiments. The knockdown efficiency was determined using qRT-PCR or western blotting.
All antibodies were purchased from commercial manufacturers, and detailed information is listed inTable S2.
