Figure Lengend Snippet: Biochemical structures of Linebacker-1 (LB1) and myricetin and antineoplastic effect of LB1 with/without radiation in human colon and lung cell lines. (A) Myricetin (left) and LB1 (right) showing with a red circle for the OH ion’s replacement by a cloride ion (Cl). (B) Schematic diagram of the treatment design using LB1 for in vitro study. (C) and (D) MTT growth assay using OD value 570 nm, showing the antitumor effect of LB1 in titrated doses for both human colon (HT29) and lung (A549) cancer cell lines, respectively. (E) Bar graph representing the colony count numbers from the clonogenic survival assay after LB1 treatment. (F) Schematic diagram showing the treatment design for in vitro LB1 and radiation treatment. Doses of 0, 25, 50, and 75 µM LB1, along with single radiation fractions of 0, 2, 4, and 6 Gy, were used in the clonogenic survival study. (G) For the clonogenic survival assay, colony counts are shown for A549 cells treated with 0, 2, 4, and 6 Gy of radiation, with or without LB1, at 0, 25, 50, and 75 µM. (H) colony count for A549 and Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC1) cell line , respectively. Graphs are generated from the average of at least 3 study repeats. The SD of the multiple independent repeats is shown, while statistical significance is shown by *** P < .001. Abbreviation : OD = optical density; OH = hydroxide ion; MTT = methyl dimethylthiazol diphenyltetrazolium bromide; RT = radiation therapy.

Article Snippet: A549 cells were cultured in RPMI cell culture media (Gibco), the HT29 cell line was cultured in McCoy’s 5A medium (ATCC), and the LLC1 cell was cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Media (Gibco).

Article Title: Exploratory Multi-Level Analysis of the HIF Axis in Clear-Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma and Evaluation of GN44028 as an Experimental HIF Pathway-Modulating Compound

doi: 10.3390/ijms27083505

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cytotoxicity of HIF inhibitors and sunitinib in renal cell lines: ( A ) 786-O, ( B ) Caki-1, and ( C ) HK-2. Dose–response curves (SRB, 72 h of incubation). Data are presented as mean ± SD from independent biological experiments, each measured in technical replicates ( n = 6). Curves were fitted using four-parameter logistic regression.

Article Snippet: 786-O (cRL1932TM), Caki-1 (McCoy) human renal cell carcinoma lines, and HK-2 (cRL2190TM) human proximal kidney tubule-derived cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA).

doi: 10.3390/ijms27083505

Figure Lengend Snippet: Cell cycle analysis by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry in 786-O ( A ), Caki-1 ( B ), and HK-2 ( C ) cells treated with KC7F2, FM19G11, GN44028, and sunitinib at IC 50 concentrations for 24 h. Bar graphs show mean ± SD from independent biological experiments, each measured in technical replicates ( n = 3–19). GN44028 was associated with an increased sub-G1 fraction in ccRCC cell lines and G2/M arrest in HK-2 cells. Sunitinib induces G0/G1 arrest in 786-O cells. **** p < 0.0001, * p < 0.05 vs. DMSO (ANOVA with Dunnett’s test).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Heatmap of transcriptional responses of hypoxia- and HIF-regulated genes in renal cell carcinoma cell lines following pharmacological inhibition of the HIF pathway. The heatmap shows log 2 (fold change) values of mRNA expression relative to vehicle-treated controls (DMSO) for 786-O and Caki-1 cells after 72 h of treatment with KC7F2, GN44028, FM19G11, or sunitinib (SUN) at IC 50 concentrations. Normal proximal tubule cells (HK-2) were excluded from visualisation. All qPCR data are presented as log 2 fold change relative to the vehicle-treated controls (DMSO). Red, green, and white colours indicate downregulation, upregulation, and no change in expression, respectively. The colour scale represents log 2 FC values ranging from −5 to +5. Genes were hierarchically clustered (average linkage, Euclidean distance), and treatment conditions were ordered manually. Each value represents the mean of two independent biological experiments, each with three technical replicates.
