Effects of vismodegib, NL-103 or vorinostat on the transcription of Gli-1 and Gli-2. (A, B) Gli-1 mRNA levels after treatment with various doses of compounds in the presence (A) or absence of Shh-N (B). (C, D) Gli-2 mRNA levels after treatment with various doses of compounds in the presence (C) or absence of Shh-N (D). NIH3T3-12Gli cells were maintained in either HEK293 control medium (blank bars) or Shh-N conditioned medium (gray bars). Cells were treated with DMSO control, vismodegib, NL-103 or vorinostat in triplicate. After 24 h, samples were collected and total RNA was extracted. Levels of mRNA were assessed by quantitative real-time PCR. Data indicate mean ± SD (n = 3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001; Student’s t-test.
