Article Title: Synergistic effect of inhibiting CHK2 and DNA replication on cancer cell growth
doi: 10.7554/elife.104718
Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4. Isobavachalcone (IBC) inhibits the CHK2 kinase. (A) Selected protein kinases were incubated with the indicated range of IBC concentrations, and kinase activity in vitro was determined by using a radiometric assay. The IC50 of IBC for each kinase is indicated in the panel on the right. (B) MCF- 7 cells were pretreated with DMSO, 15 µM IBC, or 20 µM BML-277 for 2 hr, then camptothecin (CPT, 1 μM) was added for 2 hr. Phosphorylation of CHK2 on S516 (pCHK2) was detected by western blotting. The ratio of pCHK2-S516 induction, relative to the DMSO + CPT control, is indicated (n = 3). (C) MCF-7 cells were treated as indicated in (B). Phosphorylation of chromatin-bound BRCA1 at residue S988 was detected by western blotting. The relative ratio of pBRCA1-S988 signal, after normalization to Ponceau signal, is indicated. TBP was used as a marker of chromatin fraction. (D) MCF-7 cells
