Effect of CpG-ODN 7909 on G2/M phase arrest in H460R cells.

Notes: (A) Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle distribution. (B) The proportion of cells in the G2/M phase. CpG-ODN 7909 or IR could increase the proportion of cells in the G2/M phase. However, combined treatment showed a much higher percentage in the G2/M phase compared to either treatment alone. This reinforcing effect could be blocked by the co-treatment of CQ, suggesting that CpG-ODN 7909 could prolong cell-cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and enhance radiosensitivity through TLR9 signaling. (a) P<0.05 vs IR group; (b) P<0.05 vs control group; and (c) P<0.05 vs CpG group.

Abbreviations: CpG-ODN 7909, CpG oligodeoxyribonucleotide 7909; H460R, radioresistant H460; IR, irradiation; CQ, chloroquine; TLR9, toll-like receptor 9.
