Indole-3-carbinol and bortezomib cause cell cycle arrest in OVCAR3 and OVCAR5 cells. (A) OVCAR3 and (B) OVCAR5 cells were treated with I3C, bortezomib or in combination for 24 h at the indicated concentrations. Cells were fixed and stained with PI followed by flow cytometric analysis for DNA content as described in Materials and Methods. A representative DNA histogram is shown for each condition. The mean percentage of cells from a triplicate experiment is indicated for cells in G1-, S- and G2-M-phase for each condition. (C) OVCAR3 and (D) OVCAR5 cells were treated with I3C, bortezomib or in combination as in (A) and (B), respectively. Whole-cell extracts were isolated and immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. Actin was used as a loading control.
