Article Title: Antiproliferative and proapoptotic activity of GUT-70 mediated through potent inhibition of Hsp90 in mantle cell lymphoma
doi: 10.1038/sj.bjc.6606007
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) GUT-70 effects on Hsp90 client proteins. MCL cells were treated with GUT-70 (JVM-2, 5 μ M ; Granta 519, 5 μ M ; Jeko-1, 1 μ M ; MINO, 5 μ M ) for indicated times. Cells were subjected to lysis and analysed by western blot. Western blot images are representative results from three independent experiments. ( B ) GUT-70 competitively inhibited geldanamycin binding to the Hsp90 α subunit. The competition of GUT-70 with FITC-labelled geldanamycin for binding to purified recombinant Hsp90 α was measured. Fluorescence was measured at λ ex 485 nm and at λ em 525 nm. Results shown are means±s.d. from three independent experiments. ( C ) GUT-70 induced protein ubiquitination. JVM-2 and MINO cells were treated with 5 μ M GUT-70 for 24 h, subjected to lysis, and immunoblotted for ubiquitin. Representative results are shown from three independent experiments. ( D ) Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib prevented GUT-70-mediated decreased expression of c-Raf. JVM-2 and MINO cells were treated with 5 μ M GUT-70 and/or 10 n M bortezomib for 24 h, subjected to lysis, and immunoblotted for c-Raf. Western blot images are representative results from three independent experiments.
Article Snippet: The Hsp90 α inhibitor screening assay kit with Hsp90 α recombinant enzyme and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled geldanamycin was used (BPS Bioscience, San Diego, CA, USA).
