(A) RT-PCR of human Casp6 and Cre recombinase in colons of KI and Cre mice. (B) Western blot of human Casp6 protein and active subunits in mice colon proteins. Cleavage of lamin A by activated Casp6 was also tested using anti-lamin AΔCasp6 antibody and anti-lamin A+C used as equal loading control. (C) Immunohistochemistry of WT/WT, KI/WT, WT/Cre and KI/Cre mice colons with anti-p20 active Casp6 neoepitope antisera. (D) Percent weight change measured weekly during AOM-DSS treatment. The black boxes represent the period of DSS treatment. (E) Human Casp6 mRNA levels were assessed by qRT-PCR in tumors and adjacent normal appearing tissue from WT/WT, WT/Cre, KI/WT and KI/Cre mice colons. HPRT was used as a loading control (n = 3). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer post hoc analysis was performed to determine statistical significance. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01 comparing with Normal KI/Cre and ### p<0.001 comparing with Tumor KI/Cre. (F) Specific VEIDase Casp6 activity for extracts from WT/WT, WT/Cre, KI/WT and KI/Cre colons (n = 3). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer post hoc analysis was performed to determine statistical significance. * p<0.05 compares normal versus tumor tissues and # p<0.05 compares with tumors from KI/Cre. (G) Western blot analyses for pro-Casp6 and active p20 subunit of Casp6 in colon protein extracts from WT/WT, WT/Cre, KI/WT and KI/Cre mice. (H) Number of hyperplasia per colon induced by AOM-DSS treatment 12 weeks after AOM injection. (I) Number of tumors per colon induced by AOM-DSS treatment 12 weeks after AOM injection. (J) Tumor load per mouse in mice after AOM/DSS treatment. (K) Number of tumors per mouse located in proximal, middle or distal part of colons. (H-K) Statistics were performed using one way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer post hoc analysis.
