doi: 10.1158/2767-9764.CRC-23-0219
Figure Lengend Snippet: Enitociclib delivers robust inhibition of RNA polymerase II Ser2 phosphorylation for up to 48 hours in cell lines. A, The gene expression of MYC, and MCL1 as determined by RNA-seq expressed as transcripts per million (TPM) from parental untreated SU-DHL-4 and SU-DHL-10 DLBCL cells. B, SU-DHL-4 and SU-DHL-10 DLBCL cells were seeded 18 hours prior to treatment with one of three CDK9 inhibitors: enitociclib (0.25 or 1 µmol/L), atuveciclib (1 µmol/L), or KB-0742 (1 µmol/L). Following the 4-hour treatment, the cells were washed, and the incubation continued for up to 48 hours. Samples were collected 4 hours before treatment (−4), immediately after treatment (0), and at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48 hours after washout for RNA-seq, qPCR, and Western blotting analysis. C, Western blots of phosphorylated Ser2 RNA polymerase II (p-Ser2-RNApolII), total RNApolII and HSP90 ( D ) quantification of p-Ser2-RNApolII protein levels (p-Ser2) in SU-DHL-4 and SU-DHL-10 DLBCL cells normalized to HSP90 as a ratio to DMSO matched timepoint.
Article Snippet: Genetic status and gene expression level for MYC and MCL1 was obtained from CrownBioscience.
