IQGAP1 knockout in MA2 cells reduces experimental metastasis in vivo. (A) Western blot of IQGAP1 and GAPDH in parental (WT), clonal IQGAP1 knockout (sg) and rescue (+IQGAP1) MA2 lines. Molecular weight markers in kDa are indicated. Full-length IQGAP1 is shown with an arrow. Blot is cropped for clarity, with full-length blot presented in Supplementary Fig. S7B. (BD) Tail-vein injection of clonal IQGAP1 knockout and rescue lines, each injected individually. n = 10–19 mice per group. (B,C) Number of metastases observed, with all clonal knockout and rescue lines shown pooled (B) or separated by clonal line (C). (D) Representative images of lungs 6 weeks after injection. Scale bar, 10 mm. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01; one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.
