Figure 7. The effect of ADP on cisplatin-induced cell death.
(A) ADP down-regulated the mRNA levels of Bcl-2. HUVEC were treated with indicated concentrations of ADP for 48 h. The mRNA levels of Bcl-2 was detected by RT-PCR. β-actin transcript was detected as loading control. (B, C) ADP down-regulated Bcl-2 protein expression in a dose- (B) and time-dependent (C) manner. (D) The effect of 2-MeSADP on Bcl-2 protein expression. (E) The effect of MRS2211 on Bcl-2 protein expression. (F) The effect of ADP pre-treatment on cisplatin-induced Bcl-2 down-regulation in HUVEC. Cells, pre-treated with the indicated concentrations of ADP for 48 h. were re-treated with 5 µM cisplatin for 48 h. Bcl-2 protein expression was detected by western blot. β-actin protein was detected as a loading control. (G) The effect of ADP pre-treatment on cisplatin-induced Bcl-2 protein expression in HAEC. (H) The effect of ADP pre-treatment on cisplatin-induced cell death. HUVEC were treated as same as (F). The cell survival was detected by CCK-8 assay. * P<0.05 compared with the control group. # P<0.05 compared with cisplatin-treated alone group.
