Article Title: ARID1A-mutant and deficient bladder cancer is sensitive to EZH2 pharmacologic inhibition
doi: 10.1101/2021.01.12.426383
Figure Lengend Snippet: Bladder cancer cell lines with ARID1A mutation are sensitive to EZH2 inhibition. (A) Immunoblot shows expression of ARID1A in different bladder cancer cell lines including ARID1A mutant (HT1197, HT1376, and VMCUB-1), and ARID1A wild type (T24, 5637, and RT112) cell lines. (B) Immunoblot analysis showing expression level of EZH2, Histone H3 trimethyl lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and total Histone 3 in ARID1A mutant bladder cancer cell lines (HT1197, HT1376 and VM-CUB1) after treatment with EZH2 small molecule inhibitor GSK126. (C) Cell proliferation assay indicated ARID1A mutant bladder cancer cells are sensitive to GSK126. (D) Immunoblot analysis as above in (B) in ARID1A wild type bladder cancer cell lines (T24, 5637 and RT-112) after GSK126 treatment. (E) Cell proliferation assay of ARID1A wild type bladder cancer cells showed no effect of GSK126 treatment. “ns” – non-significant.
Article Snippet: HEK293T (ATCC) and all bladder cancer cell lines HT1197 (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), HT1376 (ATCC), T24 (ATCC), 5637 (ATCC), RT112, VM-CUB1 (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany) were grown in Dulbecco’s 90% Dulbecco’s MEM (4.5 g/L glucose) with penicillin– streptomycin (100 U/ml) and 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) in 5% CO 2 cell culture incubator.
