Characterization of the phenotypic properties of MCF-7 cells with knockdown of 14-3-3ζ. (a) 14-3-3ζ RNA and protein levels were evaluated by quantitative PCR and western blot in cells stably expressing control shRNA (Ctrl) or 14-3-3ζ shRNA knockdown (KD) and in KD cells transfected with wild type 14-3-3ζ (KD_R, knockdown and reexpression). (b) Cell viability in response to different concentrations of tamoxifen (Tam) for 48 hours for Ctrl or 14-3-3ζ KD or KD_R cells. Cell number for vehicle-treated control cells is set as 100%. (c) Percentage of cells in the different cell cycle stages for Ctrl and 14-3-3ζ KD or KD_R cells treated with 1 μM Tam for 72 hours. (d) Percentage of apoptotic cells in Ctrl, 14-3-3ζ KD, and KD_R cells treated with 1 μM Tam.
