Abstract:

a Hrk is differentially expressed in four different established cell lines (A172, LN18, U87MG, U373). Values are normalized to the level of housekeeping gene, GAPDH. b Western blot analysis of endogenous HRK expression in A172, LN18, U87MG, U373 cell lines. c Western blot analysis of HRK in the whole cell lysate of GFP- and HRK-overexpressing GBM cell lines. d, e HRK overexpression decreases cell viability (d) and increases the activation of caspase 3/7 (e). (* denotes p?<?0.05, n.s. denotes non-significant (p?>?0.05), t-test). f Western blot analysis of PARP cleavage in GFP and HRK-overexpressing GBM cells. g Representative figures showing HRK-induced cell death in GBM cell lines, scale bars:100?μM. h Growth of GFP or HRK-expressing cells in long-term. t0 denotes the time of seeding, t1 denotes the time of viral transduction, t2 denotes the time of medium change. i, j General caspase inhibitor treatment (20?μM ZVAD-FmK or ZVA-FmK) recovers the HRK-induced changes in cell viability (i) and caspase activity (j). k TUNEL staining of GBM cell lines transduced with HRK or control vectors (green: TUNEL, blue: DAPI, scale bars: 10?μM
