Effect of 3-BrOP and BCNU or TMZ on energy metabolism in glioblastoma stem cells. (A) Inhibition of lactate production in GSC11 cells by the indicated concentrations of BCNU and 3-BrOP under hypoxia (2% O2). (B) ATP depletion in GSC11 cells by the indicated concentrations of BCNU and 3-BrOP for 3 h under hypoxia (2% O2). (C) ATP depletion in GSC11 cells by the indicated concentrations of BCNU and 3-BrOP for 6 h under hypoxia (2% O2). (D) ATP depletion in GSC23 cells by the indicated concentrations of BCNU and 3-BrOP for 3 h under hypoxia. (E) ATP depletion in GSC11 cells by the indicated concentrations of TMZ and 3-BrOP for 3 h under hypoxia (2% O2). (F) ATP depletion in GSC23 cells by the indicated concentrations of TMZ and 3-BrOP for 3 h under hypoxia (2% O2). (G) Viability of GSC11 cells after incubation with 3-BrOP and BCNU for 3 h or 6 h under hypoxic conditions (2% O2). Cell viability was measured by annexin-V/PI double staining followed by flow cytometry analysis. *, p<0.05; ***, p<0.001.
