Figure Lengend Snippet: DMGF induced apoptotic cell death and cell cycle arrest through inhibiting MYCN and MYBL2 expression. ( A ) Inhibitory effects of DMGF on cell proliferation. MB cells were treated with various concentrations of DMGF for 48 h. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Results are shown as mean ± SD ( n = 6). ( B , C ) DMGF increased active caspase-3 activity and TUNEL signals. Paclitaxel (30 ng/mL) was used as a positive control. Ctrl: control (untreated) cells. P: Paclitaxel 30 ng/mL. D1 and D2: DMGF 1 and 2 µg/mL. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001, compared to the control group using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. ( D ) The top 10 differentially down-regulated hallmark pathways in Daoy-MYCN cells after DMGF treatment. ( E ) The genes that overlap with the genes in the hallmark gene sets of MYC target v1, MYC target v2, and G2M checkpoint in Daoy-MYCN cells after DMGF treatment. ( F ) DMGF suppressed MYCN and MYBL2 expression in MB cells. MB cells were treated with DMGF for 48 h; MYCN and MYBL2 were detected by western blot. ( G ) Cell cycle distribution of DMGF-treated MB cells. After treatment for 24 h with DMGF (0 and 2 µg/mL), a propidium iodide staining assay was performed on MB cells. Cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometry. All data are represented as mean ± S.D. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001, compared to the control group using one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test. ( H ) Effect of DMGF on expression of cell cycle checkpoint proteins, such as cyclins, CDKs, p21 and p27. All cell cycle checkpoint proteins were analyzed by Western blot. β-actin was used as a loading control
Article Snippet: The expression of MYCN and MYBL2 in tumors was determined by staining with anti-mouse MYCN (1:500, Proteintech, Cat#10159-2-AP, RRID: AB_2266881) and anti-mouse MYBL2 (1:500, Proteintech, Cat#18896-1-AP, RRID: AB_10644283) antibodies.
