Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterisation of IAP proteins in OAC cells. ( A ) Western blot analysis of cleaved PARP, cIAP1, cIAP2, XIAP and Survivin following 24 h treatment with ~ IC 30(72 h) doses of chemotherapy in OE33, FLO1 and OE19 cell lines. Western blot analysis of basal IAP protein levels in ( B ) paired sensitive and resistant OAC cell lines and ( C ) an OAC cell line panel. Vinculin was used as a loading control ( D ) Pearson correlation analysis of wild-type XIAP protein levels and ALM301 sensitivity, ~ IC50 (72 h) in the OAC cell line panel (r = 0.79, p < 0.05). XIAP mutant KYAE1 cell line was omitted from the analysis due to predicted functionality effect.
Article Snippet: Western blot analysis was carried out as previously described using antibodies targeting phospho-(S473)-Akt (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 4060, RRID:AB_2315049), phospho-(T308)-Akt (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 4056, RRID:AB_331163), pan- Akt (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 2920, RRID:AB_1147620), PTEN (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 9559, RRID:AB_390810), PARP (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 9532, RRID:AB_659884), phospho-γ-H2AX (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 9718, RRID:AB_2118009), cIAP1 (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 7065, RRID:AB_10890862), cIAP2 (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 3130, RRID:AB_10693298), XIAP (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 2045, RRID:AB_2214866) and Survivin (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 2808, RRID:AB_2063948).
