Len in combination with SAHA triggers synergistic cytotoxicity. (a) MM.1S cells were cultured with Len (1.25–5 μm ) with vehicle control (□), and with 0.25 (Inline graphic), 0.5 (Inline graphic) or 1 μm (Inline graphic) SAHA for 48 h. Cell growth was assessed by MTT assay, and data represent mean±s.d. from three independent experiments. CI was calculated by CalcuSyn software program. (bd) MM.1S cells were cultured with Len (2.5 μm) in the presence or absence of SAHA (0.5 μm) for 24 h. (b) Cells were harvested and subjected to annexin-V (X-axis)/PI (Y-axis) staining. Numbers indicate cell population in each quadrant. (c) Whole-cell lysates were subjected to immunoblotting with indicated Abs. (d) Cells were subjected to qRT-PCR analysis of c-Myc; 1, control; 2, Len 1.25 μm; 3, Len 2.5 μm; 4, Len 5 μm; 5, SAHA 0.25 μm; 6, SAHA 0.5 μm; 7, Len 2.5 μm+SAHA 0.25 μm; 8, Len 2.5 μm+SAHA 0.5 μm. Fold changes were normalized with internal control (GAPDH).
