a Analysis of IGF1R and EGFR pathway activation in PRKCSH-deficient cells. A549-shCon and A549-shPRK cells or other lung cancer cells, including H292R and H1299 (p53 null) cells transfected with siPRK#2 or siCon, were treated with or without 50 ng/ml TRAIL for the indicated times. The phosphorylation of IGF1R, EGFR, AKT, and ERK1/2 in cell lysates was analyzed by immunoblotting. Representative immunoblots and quantitative analysis of phosphorylated protein levels in each cell line are shown. The quantitative data are shown as the means ± SDs of three independent assays. The statistical significance of differences between two groups was determined with the two-tailed Student’s t test. b The effect of IGF1R overexpression on TNFSF-mediated tumor cell killing in lung cancer cells. A549-shPRK cells were infected with lentivirus containing IGF1R cDNA plasmid, followed by treatment with TRAIL at the indicated concentrations for 24 h. TNFSF-mediated cytotoxicity was analyzed by MTT assay, and activation of caspases was analyzed by immunoblotting. H292R and H1299 (p53 null) cells were transfected with siRNA to IGF1R, followed by treatment with TRAIL at the indicated concentrations for 24 h. TNFSF-mediated cytotoxicity was analyzed by MTT assay, and activation of caspases was analyzed by immunoblotting. c The effect of IGF1R overexpression or knockdown on TNFSF-mediated phosphorylation of AKT and ERK1/2 in lung cancer cells. A549-shPRK cells were infected with lentivirus containing IGF1R cDNA plasmid, or H292R and H1299 (p53 null) cells were transfected with siRNA to IGF1R. Cells were treated with TRAIL for the indicated times, followed by determination of AKT and ERK1/2 phosphorylation by immunoblotting. Representative immunoblots and quantitative analysis of phosphorylated protein levels in each cell line are shown. d The effect of IGF1R overexpression or knockdown on TNFSF-mediated Mcl-1 expression in lung cancer cells. A549-shPRK cells were infected with lentivirus containing IGF1R cDNA plasmid, or H292R and H1299 (p53 null) cells were transfected with siRNA to IGF1R. Cells were treated with TRAIL for the indicated times, followed by determining the expression of Mcl-1L and Mcl-1S by immunoblotting. Representative immunoblots and quantitative analysis of Mcl-1L and Mcl-1S protein levels in each cell line are shown. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
