Article Title: Corexit-EC9527A Disrupts Retinol Signaling and Neuronal Differentiation in P19 Embryonal Pluripotent Cells
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0163724
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Corexit-9527 inhibited ROH-induced Hoxa1 expression. P19 cells were exposed to the indicated concentrations of Corexit-9527 for 1 or 24 hr followed by 0.3 μM ROH for additional 6 hr. The columns represent the relative Hoxa1 expression levels (left axis) that are normalized to the control (no ROH induction). The bars show cell viability (right axis) at the tested doses of Corexit. Values are mean ± s.e.m.; n = 3. (B) The effect of Corexit-9527 on ROH-, RAL- or RA-induced Hoxa1 expression. P19 cells were exposed to Corexit-9527 for 1 hr and then were induced by indicated retinoids for additional 6 hr. For each retinoid, the Hoxa1 expression levels in the cells that were induced by the cognate retinoid in the absence of Corexit-9527 were set to be 1. Values are mean ± s.e.m.; ***, p < 0.001, n.s., not significant, determined by Student’s t -test using two-tailed distribution and unequal variance; n = 4.
Article Snippet: The mouse P19 pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cell line was purchased from the ATCC (Manassas, VA) and maintained in complete MEMα medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (ATCC) at 37°C and 5% CO 2 .
