Figure Lengend Snippet: A Differential gene expression analysis of Cul1, SKP1 and RBX1 at indicated time points compared to 0-hour control. B Immunoblotting of RB was performed in RT112 and T24 cells treated with 1µM PD for 8h, either in combination with or without 0.2μM MLN4924. RB protein was quantified densitometrically, normalized to GAPDH and the value after PD treatment was compared to the control. C T24 and RT112 cells were treated with 1µM PD either in combination with or without 0.2µM MLN4924 for 8h. Cell cycle analysis was assessed by EdU incorporation and 7-AAD staining. D T24 and RT112 cells were transfected with control, Cullin 1–4 or Cullin 1–5 siRNA oligos. After 24h, the cells were treated with 1µM PD for 8h, and Western blot analysis was conducted using antibodies against RB, pRB and Cul1. After densitometric analysis, normalized to GAPDH, the values of siRNA were referred to the control. E , F Dose–response curves were generated for PD or MLN4924 monotherapy in RT112 and T24 cells. G , I A dose–response matrix was constructed for combination therapy. H , J An interaction landscape was created based on the dose-response matrix. The ZIP synergy score was calculated for the combination therapy. The dose–response data represent the mean from at least 3 biological replicates. Error bars indicate SD, asterisks indicate ANOVA.* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001, ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: RT112 cells were obtained from the Leibniz Institute DSMZ (German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, Braunschweig, Germany) and maintained in RPMI medium containing 10% FBS, 1% NEEA and 1% penicillin/streptomycin at 37°C in 5% CO 2 .
