Figure Lengend Snippet: MYC/MAX inhibitors in combination with anti-transcription γPNA1 Cell viability of (A) U2932 and (B) Raji cells treated with increasing doses of MYC/MAX inhibitors (Myci975, EN4, 10058-F4, and sAJM589) alone and in combination with γPNA1 and ScR-γPNA2 (8 μM) for 72 h. Results are presented as mean ± SEM. The IC 50 (95% CI) values of MYC/MAX inhibitors alone and combination treatment of MYC/MAX with γPNA1 in (C) U2932 and (D) Raji cells. (E) Cell viability of γPNA1-treated U2932 and Raji cells at 8 μM concentration. Western blot analysis representing the change in c-MYC protein 72 h after treatment with γPNA1 and ScR-γPNA2 in combination with (F) Myci975, (G) EN4, (H) 10058-F4, and (I) sAJM589. ∗∗(F–I) Cyclophilin B was used as an endogenous control, and the same blots are presented in A–S7D. c-MYC, EZH2, and cyclophilin B were probed from the same blot. Results are presented as mean ± SEM, p value for one-way ANOVA.
Article Snippet: Cells were cotreated with 1:2 dilutions of MYC/MAX inhibitors (Myci975 [Selleckchem, #S8906]), EN4 (MedChemExpress, #HY-134761), 10058-F4 (MedChemExpress, #HY-12702), SAJM589 (MedChemExpress, #HY-122683), and γPNA1 and ScR-γPNA2 at 8 μM for 72 h. Cells were cotreated with 1:10 dilutions of small molecule inhibitors (JQ1 [MedChemExpress, #HY-13030]), sapanisertid (MedChemExpress, #HY-13328), and γPNA1 and ScR-γPNA2 at 8 μM for 72 h. MDA-MB 231 cells were cotreated with dinaciclid (MedChemExpress, #HY-10492) and γPNA1 and ScR-γPNA2 at 8 μM for 72 h. MDA-MB-231 and HeLa cells were cotreated with c-Myc siRNA (50 nM) and γPNA1 and ScR-γPNA2 for 48 h. At 0 μM concentration, cells were treated only with PBS and not treated with MYC/MAX inhibitors, HDAC inhibitors, small molecule inhibitors, or γPNA1.
