Article Title: BRCA1 Loss Induces GADD153-Mediated Doxorubicin Resistance in Prostate Cancer
doi: 10.1158/1541-7786.MCR-11-0155
Figure Lengend Snippet: BRCA1 increases doxorubicin sensitivity in prostate cancer. A, BRCA1 expression was determined by WB in human prostate cancer cell lines. B, PC3 (pcDNA3, pcDNA3 BRCA1, shRNA scramble, and shRNA BRCA1) and LNCaP (shRNA scramble and shRNA BRCA1) stable cell lines were generated and BRCA1 expression was determined by WB. C, cells were exposed to doxorubicin or etoposide and viability was determined by MTS. Each sample was assayed in triplicate in 2 biological independent experiments. D, cells were stained with Annexin V–FITC and PI and analyzed by FACS after doxorubicin treatment (2 μmol/L, 24 hours). The average from 3 biological independent experiments (bottom) or 1 representative experiment (top) is shown. E, cells were treated with doxorubicin, fixed, and stained with PI. DNA content was determined by FACS. Histogram shows the percentage of cells in G1, S, and G2/M phases. The figure depicts the result of 3 biological independent experiments. F, cells were exposed to doxorubicin and WB analysis was carried out by using anti-p21Waf1/Cip1, -lamin A/C, or -cyclin D1, E, A, and B1 antibodies. In the Western blots, the numbers under the bands indicate BRCA1 quantitation normalized to actin B and PC3 cells (A) or control (B, F).*, P < 0.05.
Article Snippet: BRCA1 expression vector (pcDNA3 BRCA1) has also been previously described ( 23 ). shRNA scramble control and shRNA BRCA1 were from Upstate. siRNA control and siRNA GADD153 were from Santa Cruz Biotechnology.
