Oxaloacetate or pyruvate rescue glutamine-depleted cells from apoptosis but not from cell cycle arrest. (A and B) IER-MYC cells were incubated in the presence of OHT (MYCON) or ethanol (MYCOFF) for 24 h and then in the indicated media for 18 h before measuring cell viability. An average of three (A) and two (B) independent experiments is presented. Error bars in A indicate SDs. (C) IER-MYC–C9DN cells were incubated with OHT for 24 h. Media was then changed to that containing 2 mM of the indicated supplements and incubated for 24 h in one experiment (filled bars) or 48 h in the second experiment (open bars) before counting the cells. The relative increase in cell number is shown. (D) IER-MYC–C9DN cells were treated either with ethanol or OHT and then incubated with or without glutamine for the indicated time before measuring the NADH to NAD+ ratio. Treatment with rotenon (Rot) was used as a positive control.
