Figure Lengend Snippet: Semiconfluent cells were incubated in D-MEM containing 2% serum with or without (control) 200 ng/mL (166 nM) CsA for 12 h, after which reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis was performed. Relative quantification was performed using the 2‑ΔΔCq method. After normalization to GAPDH, RNA ratios in treated vs. control cultures were determined. Data are presented as means ± SEM. * P <0.05 compared with the control using Welch’s t-test (n = 3). (A) G 1 -S transition-promoted genes ( CDC25A , cell division cycle 25A; CDK2 , cyclin dependent kinase 2; CYCLIN E1 , E-type cyclin; MYC , MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor). (B) G 1 arrest-induced genes ( ATM , ATM serine/threonine kinase; ATR , ATR serine/threonine kinase; P21 , cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A; P27 , cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1B; P53 , tumor protein p53; RB1 , RB transcriptional corepressor 1; SMAD3 , SMAD family member 3; SMAD4 , SMAD family member 4).
Article Snippet: The rabbit anti-CDC25A antibody (cat. no. 55031-1-AP) was purchased from Proteintech Group, Inc (Rosemont, IL, USA).
