IAP expression in glioblastoma cell lines. Expression levels of cIAP1, cIAP2, XIAP and ML-IAP were analyzed by western blotting and quantified in U87MG and GL261 adherent GBM cell lines, and in GBM6 and GBM9 spheres. Expression level of β-actin served as loading control. The four GBM cell lines expressed heterogeneously cIAP1, cIAP2, XIAP and ML-IAP. A representative experiment of four experiments is shown. Quantification was performed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) and data presented were normalized to β-actin expression
