Fig. 3. SAMe and MTA treatment lowered Ubc9 protein levels in HepG2, Huh-7, RKO and MCF-7 cells.
Cells were treated with SAMe (2mM) or MTA (1mM) for 24 hours. (A) Quantitative real-time PCR measured mRNA levels of Ubc9. Results are expressed as fold of control (mean ± SEM) from 3 independent experiments. (B) Western blot analysis using whole cell lysates (10μg) measured Ubc9 protein levels. The values are expressed as % of control (mean ± SEM) from 3 independent experiments. *P<0.001 vs. control of HepG2, *p<0.001 vs. control of Huh-7, *p<0.01 vs. control of RKO and *p< 0.01 vs. control of MCF-7 cells.
