Expression of CHK1, E2F1, and RRM2 in stromal cells treated with CPT or UV.
A, real-time RT-PCR of Chk1, E2f1, and Rrm2 mRNA levels after CPT (1 μm)-treated stromal cells were pretreated with caffeine (inhibitor of ATR/ATM), KU-55933 (inhibitor of ATM), or UCN-01 (inhibitor of CHK1), respectively. B, real-time RT-PCR of Chk1, E2f1, and Rrm2 mRNA levels after UV (20 J)-treated stromal cells were pretreated with caffeine, KU-55933, or UCN-01, respectively. C, Western blot of RRM2 and p-CHK1 proteins after CPT-treated stromal cells were pretreated with caffeine, KU-55933, or UCN-01, respectively. D, Western blot of RRM2 and p-CHK1 proteins after UV-treated stromal cells were pretreated with caffeine, KU-55933, or UCN-01, respectively. *, p < 0.05; error bars, S.E.
