Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. DNMT1 and HDAC combinatory inhibition induced the expression of pro-apoptotic genes. (A,B) Quantitative RT-PCR of BBC3 (PUMA) and PMAIP (NOXA) mRNA expression levels after the treatment with 500 nM DAC and/or 500 nM SB939 in the U87-MG (A) and T98-G (B) cells. The results are expressed as 2−∆∆Ct. (C) Representative Western blot and densitometric analysis of the PARP1 protein cleavage after the treatment with 500 nM DAC and/or 500 nM SB939 in the U87-MG (left) and T98-G (right) cells. (D) Representative Western blot analysis of the p53 protein expression level after the treatment with 500 nM DAC and/or 500 nM SB939 in the T98-G cells (left) and densitometric analysis (right). The data is expressed as the mean ± SD, * p value ≤0.05; ** p value ≤0.01; *** p value ≤0.001; test—unpaired two tailed t-test of treated samples vs. vehicle, corrected for multiple testing with the Bonferroni method.
Article Snippet: The hypomethylating agent 5-aza-2′-deoxycitidine (DAC, Selleckchem, S1200, Houston, TX, USA) was resuspended to a final concentration of 100 mM in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); the pan-HDAC inhibitor SB939 (Selleckchem, S1515, Houston, TX, USA) was resuspended in DMSO to reach a final concentration of 50 mM and subsequently used to treat the cells.
