Effect of lovastatin and docetaxel on p21 and p27 expression. HGT-1 cells were treated with 12.5 μM lovastatin (L12.5) or with 5 or 10 nM docetaxel (D5 or D10) alone or in combination for 48 h. (A) p21 and p27 mRNA levels were analysed by real-time RT–PCR. Relative mRNA levels were normalised to GAPDH mRNA levels. Values are means±s.d. (n=4). *Compared with control, #compared with docetaxel treatment, †compared with lovastatin treatment. One symbol: P<0.05, two symbols: P<0.01, three symbols: P<0.001 (Student's t-test). (B) p21 and p27 protein levels were analysed by western blotting. Hsc70 was used as a loading control. The western blotting analyses are representative of three experiments with similar results.
