Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytotoxicity of GBM cell lines A172 and U251 following prolonged arginine deprivation (A). Average ASS-1 levels, expressed as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), for each condition (isotype, untreated and treated cells) at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-treatment. Stars indicate a significant increase in ASS-1 expression compared to both isotype control and untreated cells (B) ASS-1 expression of A172 and U251 cell lines at 72 hours post-treatment. MFI is on the X-axis (FL1-H) and forward scatter is on the Y-axis (C).

Article Snippet: Human Glioblastoma cell lines A172 and U251 MG were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (A172 ATCC, CRL-1620) and from the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (U251 MG, ECACC, catalog # 09063001).

Stars indicate a significant increase in autophagosome accumulation compared to untreated cells (A). Autophagosome accumulation in A172 and U251 cell lines at 72 hours post-treatment in untreated cells and cells treated with CQ, [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] and a combination of both. MFI is on the X-axis (FL1-H) and forward scatter is on the Y-axis (B). Immunohistochemistry staining of autophagosomes in A172 cells untreated and treated with CQ, [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000], or a combination of both, at 24, 48, and 72 hours, post-treatment (C).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blot of Atg13 and phosphor-Atg13 on protein extracts of A172 and U251 untreated and treated with [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] for up to 96 hours (Atg13) (A). Histogram of the ratio of p-Atg13 over Atg13 showing a significant decrease in the phosphorylation of Atg13 at 72- and 96-hours post-treatment. Stars indicate statistical significance (A). ULK phosphorylation levels expressed as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), for untreated cells and cells treated with [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-treatment. Double stars indicate significantly lower ULK phosphorylation in treated compared to untreated cells (B). ULK phosphorylation is also shown in A172 and U251 cell lines at 24- and 48-hours post-treatment in isotype controls, untreated cells and cells treated with [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000]. MFI is represented on the X-axis (FL1-H) and forward scatter is represented on the Y-axis. Last panel on the right is a histogram representing the overlayed phospho-ULK MFI of the isotype control (red), untreated cells (black) and cells treated with [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] (blue) (B). Cytotoxicity of [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] alone and in combination with chloroquine (CQ) (50 µM) to A172 and U251 cells at 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours (C).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Intracellular ROS accumulation in GBM cells following treatment with [HuArgI (Co)|-PEG5000], expressed as both percent positive cells (left panel) and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) (right panel). Stars indicate a significant increase in ROS accumulation. The bottom histograms show ROS accumulation in treated cells (red) compared to controls (black) in A172 and U251 cells. (A) Autophagosome accumulation in GBM cells, expressed as MFI, for control untreated cells and cells treated with [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] alone or a combination of [HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000] and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) at 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours post-treatment (B). Autophagosome formation in A172 and U251 cell lines.

Figure Lengend Snippet: GB cells were exposed to GEM for 1h or 24 h at the indicated concentrations. After GEM exposure, cells were maintained in drug-free fresh culture medium for 72 h before a viability assay with Crystal Violet. IC50 of GEM on the A172, U87-MG and U118-MG human GB cell lines were indicated in the legend of . Phase contrast microscopy images of GB cells treated for 24 h at IC 90. Cells were maintained in culture in drug free medium and observed 24 h or 5 days after GEM treatment. Note the presence of enlarged / flattened cells.
