Apoptosis analyses of pancreatic carcinoma cells treated with rTRAILwt and rTRAILDR4.(A) Colo357 cells were treated with PBS (gray) as control, 100 ng/ml rTRAILwt (rwt; brown) and rTRAILDR4 (rDR4; green) for 24 h before apoptosis was measured. The apoptosis was significantly higher with rTRAILDR4 than rTRAILwt. (B) PancTu1.shctrl (filled) and PancTu1.shXIAP (dashed) cells were treated with PBS (gray) as control, 100 ng/ml rTRAILwt (rwt; brown) and rTRAILDR4 (rDR4; green) for 24 h before apoptosis was measured. The results show that PancTu1.shctrl cells are TRAIL resistant and that silencing of XIAP (in PancTu1.shXIAP) sensitizes the cells. In PancTu1.shXIAP rTRAILDR4 induces significantly more apoptosis than rTRAILwt. In the insert the knock-down of XIAP is shown by Western blot of protein lysates from PancTu1.shXIAP (lane 1) and PancTu1.shctrl (lane 2) cells. The CuZnSOD blot serves as loading control.
