Article Title: AS1411-Induced Growth Inhibition of Glioma Cells by Up-Regulation of p53 and Down-Regulation of Bcl-2 and Akt1 via Nucleolin
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0167094
Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Cell cycle arrest induced by AS1411 in U87, U251, SHG44 and NHA cells. 48 h after treatment with AS1411 (5μM), cells were collected and stained with propidium iodide (PI); DNA content was determined by flow cytometry. This assay was performed in triplicate. CRO (5μM) was used as negative control. (b) Histograms showing the percentage of glioma cells and NHA in G0-G1, S, and G2-M phases in four independent experiments. (c) The G2/M cell cycle related protein cyclin A1, cyclin B1 and cyclin D1 was detected by immunoblotting after treatment with AS1411 (5μM) for 48 h, CRO (5μM) was used as negative control, β-actin was used as loading control. (d) Histograms showing the percentage of glioma cells in G0-G1, S, and G2-M phases after the NCL overexpression. Error bars indicate ± s.d. **P<0.01, two-tailed student’s t-test.
Article Snippet: For the gene overexpression, pCEP4 Bcl-2 (Plasmid #16461), pCDH-puro-myr-HA-Akt1 (Plasmid #46969) and GFP-Nucleolin (Plasmid #28176) were obtained from the Addgene (Cambridge, MA).
