Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5 BETd-260 induces BET degradation, triggers apoptosis in vivo, and inhibits tumor growth in MNNG/HOS xenografts in mice. a, b BALB/c mice bearing MNNG/HOS xenograft tumors were treated with a single intravenous dose of 5 mg/kg BETd-260. Two to three mice were sacrificed and tumor tissue was harvested at each different time points. a The levels of BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 proteins in tumor tissue lysates were examined by western blotting analysis. Tubulin was used as a loading control. b The expression of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, cleaved PARP-1, and Ki67 was examined by immunohistochemistry staining. c–e BALB/c mice bearing xenograft tumors were treated with BETd-260 and vehicle control intravenously three times per week for 3 weeks. Tumor sizes and body weights were measured every 2–3 days. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 7–8). c Tumor values were plotted with Prism 6 software. d Scatter plots represent the tumor volumes at the end of each study. e Body weights were plotted with Prism 6 software. p values between each treated and the vehicle control group were determined using two-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001)
Article Snippet: The following antibodies were used for IHC: BRD2 (A302-583A, 1:250), BRD3 (A302-368A, 1:250), BRD4 (A700-005, 1:100) from Bethyl Laboratories (Shanghai, China); cleaved PARP-1 (Asp214) (5625, 1:100) and Ki67 (8D5) (9449, 1:500) from Cell Signaling Technology (CST, Shanghai, China).
