ARCaP M cells were transfected with NRP1 siRNA or control siRNA for 48 h, serum-starved overnight, then treated with VEGF 165 (10 ng/ml) for 60 min. (b) Immunoprecipitation assay of NRP1-c-MET interaction. Serum-starved ARCaP M cells were treated with VEGF 165 (10 ng/ml) for the indicated times, and immunoprecipitated with anti-NRP1 (upper), or anti-c-MET (low) antibody. (c) Co-localization of NRP1 and c-MET or p-c-MET. Serum-starved ARCaP M cells were treated with VEGF 165 (10 ng/ml) or PBS for the indicated times. Immunofluorescence staining of NRP1, c-MET or p-c-MET was performed and visualized by confocal microscopy. Arrows indicate co-localization of NRP1 and c-MET or p-c-MET.

( A ) Validation of down-regulated c-MET protein expression 24 h upon transfection with 50 pmol of c-MET specific siRNA#1 and #2 in comparison to unspecific scrambled control (scr). Western blot analysis demonstrated highly efficient c-MET (175 kDa) down-regulation in Cal33 and FaDu as well as their irradiated sublines (IR). Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, 35 kDa) was used as internal loading control ( n = 2). ( B,C ) Clonogenic survival and plating efficiency (b) in standard 2D-colony-assay 10 days after c-MET knock-down for Cal33 and FaDu cell line as well as their irradiated sub-lines (IR) in comparison to scramble (scr) control ( n = 3, * p < 0.05, mean +- SEM). Linear-quadratic model of cell survival curves after irradiation with 0, 2, 4, or 6 Gy (c) ( n = 3, * p < 0.05, mean +- SEM). The number of colonies within 10 days is calculated to plated cell number and depicted as plating efficiency. The surviving fraction illustrates the clonogenic survival depending on the irradiation dose and is normalized to plating efficiency.
