Figure Lengend Snippet: NFV inhibits γ-secretase activity in T-ALL cell lines. NFV decreased relative fluorescence in cell-free in vitro γ-secretase assay in a dose-dependent manner using cell membrane-enriched fractions. CE was used as a control to confirm specificity of fluorogenic substrate cleavage by endogenous γ-secretase. Data are the mean ± SD of at least three separate experiments. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01. T-ALL, T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; NFV, nelfinavir; D, DMSO; CE, compound E.
Article Snippet: Compound E (γ-secretase inhibitor XXI; cat. no. 565790) and a fluorogenic γ-secretase substrate (cat. no. 565764) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Merck KGaA).
