(A) Luciferase activity of the canonical WNT reporter in HTR cells transfected with the TOPFLASH TCF reporter plasmid after exposure to varying concentrations of CO-RM2, inactivated CO-RM2 (iCO-RM2), and 10% cigarette smoke extract (CSE) for a period of 24 hours. The normalized value of unstimulated control was arbitrarily set at 100%. Bars represent mean values of 3 different experiments; error bars indicate SEM. P < 0.001 by ANOVA, *P < 0.05 for 50 μM CO-RM2 versus DMSO control by t test, #P < 0.05 for 100 μM CO-RM2 versus control by t test, +P < 0.05 for 200 μM CO-RM2 versus DMSO control by t test. (B) Relative quantification of SFRP1 mRNA levels measured by qRT-PCR in HTR cells after exposure to CO-RM2 for a period of 24 hours. Data are presented as scatter plot (mean ± SEM). SFRP1 expression was increased after exposure to 100 μM CO-RM2 compared with that after exposure to DMSO control (P < 0.05 by t test). (C) Dose-dependent reduction of [3H] thymidine incorporation in serum-starved HTR cells after exposure to varying concentrations of CO-RM2. Inactivated CO-RM2 had no effect of [3H] thymidine incorporation. Experiments were performed twice, in triplicate (mean ± SEM). (D) Fetal weights on E18 were decreased in CD1 pregnant mice injected on E15 with CO-RM2 (n = 5 litters, 63 fetuses) as compared with those injected with 1% DMSO vehicle (n = 5 litters, 67 fetuses). Data are presented as a box plot (25th–75th percentile), with horizontal bars representing median values and whiskers representing minimum and maximum values (*P < 0.001 versus mice injected with DMSO vehicle by t test).
