Figure Lengend Snippet: Ginsenoside Rg5 interrupts the binding between HSP90 and CDC37 to facilitate the degradation of cell cycle related proteins A. HSP90 and CDC37 protein levels in MCF-7, MCF-7/AR, T47D, and T47D/AR cells treated with DMSO or Rg5 (40 μM) for 24 h. B. Co-IP was performed using an anti-HSP90 antibody to pull down HSP90 protein complexes from MCF-7/AR and T47D/AR cell lysates treated with DMSO or Rg5 (10 or 40 μM) for 24 h. Western blotting was then used to detect the presence of CDC37 in the immunoprecipitated complexes. C. Cellular Thermal Shift Assay (CETSA) was used to determine the thermal stability of HSP90 in MCF-7/AR and T47D/AR cells treated with DMSO or Rg5 (40 μM) for 24 h. Cells after treatment were heated at the indicated temperatures (45 °C, 49 °C, 53 °C, 56 °C, 59 °C, 62 °C, and 65 °C), followed by immunoblot analysis to detect HSP90 and β-actin levels. D-I. MCF-7/AR (D–F) and T47D (G–I) cells treated with DMSO, 17-AAG (10 μM), or Rg5 (40 μM) for 24 h were subjected to cycloheximide (CHX, 50 μg/mL) chase analysis to monitor the stability of CDK4 and CDK6 proteins over time (up to 24 h). D-G. Western blot analyses of CDK4 and CDK6 protein levels in MCF-7/AR (D) and T47D/AR (G) cells after CHX treatment. E-F and H-I.
