Figure 5From: Specificity protein 1 is a novel target of 2, 4-bis (p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butenal for the suppression of human oral squamous cell carcinoma cell growthThe effect of HPB242 on apoptosis of HN22 and HSC4 cells. HN22 (A) and HSC4 (B) cells were incubated with HPB242 (0, 5, 10 and 20 μg/ml) for 48 h. Fifty micrograms of cellular extract per lane was separated on an SDS-PAGE gel as described in Methods. Immunoblot detection of Bid, Cleaved-caspase3, and PARP, upregulation of Bax, downregulation of Bcl-xl in whole cell lysates from various concentration HPB242-treated HN22 and HSC4 cells for 48 hours. Equal loading of protein was confirmed by incubating the same membrane with anti-β-Actin antibody.Back to article page
