Figure Lengend Snippet: Amiodarone induces apoptosis in bladder cancer cell lines. Cells were treated for 48 or 72 hours with amiodarone (0, 25, and 50 μmol/L for UMUC3; 0, 12.5, and 25 μmol/L for HT1197, BFTC905, and RT112). A, Apoptosis was evaluated using the Caspase-Glo 3/7 Assay and viability using the CellTiter cell proliferation assay. Apoptosis results were normalized to viability. Data are presented as apoptosis related to the control and represent mean ± SEM from at least three independent experiments (one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001). B, Western blot analysis of cPARP expression after 48 hours of treatment with 0, 12.5, and 25 μmol/L amiodarone. GAPDH was used as a loading control. Blots are representative of three independent experiments. Quantification of cPARP expression (normalized by GAPDH) is indicated under each corresponding band. Values are presented as expression related to the control.
Article Snippet: UMUC3 (basal mesenchymal phenotype) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, HT1197 (G4) from ATCC (CRL1473), and BFTC905 (G3) and RT112 (G2) from the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH.
