Figure Legend Snippet: The effects of TXS inhibition on tumour cell apoptosis . A) Apoptosis was induced in a dose-dependant manner following 24 h treatment with ozagrel, relative to untreated control cells. Cell health following ozagrel treatment was assessed using 3 spectrally distinct flourophores to examine nuclei, f -actin (marker of cytoskeletal integrity), and mitochondrial mass/potential. Reduced f -actin levels demonstrate a loss in cellular integrity during apoptosis. Membrane blebbing also occurs and mitochondrial activity occurs, coupled with a loss of potential across the mitochondrial membrane. These markers were quantified by the Kinetic Scan HCS reader and are represented (B). Similar observations were made in SKMES-1 cells (data not shown). Apoptosis was confirmed following selective TXS inhibition by Cell Death Detection ELISA and DNA laddering in both cell lines (A-549 shown as representative). Cell Death ELISA demonstrated increased apoptosis in a concentration dependant manner, with fold induction expressed as a ratio of control cells (C). DNA laddering was also observed following ozagrel treatment at both 500 nM and 5 μM concentrations (D).
Techniques Used: Inhibition, Marker, Activity Assay, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay, DNA Laddering, Concentration Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Effect of stable TXS -over-expression on tumour cell survival . Apoptosis was measured in TXS stable transfectants, and corresponding controls (wild-type and empty vector) following 48 h (A) and 72 h (B) serum-starvation by flow cytometry. Representative dot plots following 72 h serum starvation are shown for wild-type (C), empty vector (D) and TXS overexpressing (E) cells. Graphical data is represented at a percentage of the empty vector control, which was set to 100%. Data is expressed as mean ± SEM. n=3 independent experiments.
Techniques Used: Over Expression, Plasmid Preparation, Flow Cytometry
