Article Title: Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Renal Cell Carcinoma: Niclosamide Enhances Sunitinib Efficacy via DNA Repair and Cell Cycle Pathways
doi: 10.3390/ijms262210922
Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation between experimental and clinical expression of niclosamide-regulated genes. ( A ) BRIP1, E2F2, FANCA, DNA2, and TTK mRNA expression levels in normal tissue (NT) and primary tumor tissue (TP) from TCGA-KIRC dataset. ( B ) A-498 and ACHN cells were treated with 2.5 µM sunitinib, 1 µM niclosamide, or their combination, for 48 h. Protein expression of BRIP, E2F2, and FANCA was detected by Western blot; GAPDH was a loading control. Representative blots from n = 3 independent experiments are shown. Densitometric quantification of γ-H2AX relative to GAPDH is presented as mean ± SD (n = 3). Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA with post hoc tests. (* p < 0.05 compared to control). D, DMSO; S, sunitinib; N, niclosamide; C, combination.
Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked and subsequently incubated overnight at 4 °C with specific primary antibodies against BRIP1 (Cell Signaling Technology), E2F2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA), FANCA (Cell Signaling Technology), γH2AX (Ser139; Cell Signaling Technology), Cyclin A (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), Cyclin B (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), CDK1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), and GAPDH (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.).
