β-catenin siRNA knockdown restores the binding between crizotinib and ALK and significantly sensitizes RR cells to crizotinib treatment. (A,B) β-catenin siRNA knockdown significantly restores crizotinib—ALK binding upon crizotinib treatment in comparison to scrambled siRNA transfection in RR cells derived from GOTO and SK-N-SH. Representative western blots are shown on the upper panel and the densitometry quantification data from 3 independent experiments are shown on the lower panel. (C,D) RR cells significantly sensitized to crizotinib treatment upon β-catenin siRNA knockdown. Data are presented as mean ± SD. **P < 0.01, Student’s t test.
