Figure 1. RGS10 suppression induces the phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 in ovarian cancer cells under low nutrient conditions.
(A) OVCAR-3, HeyA8 and SKOV-3 cells were transfected with the siGENOME RISC-Free control siRNA (siRISC) or siRGS10 and kept in serum-free medium prior to immunoblotting detection for phospho-4E-BP1 at Thr37/46 and actin. (B) Repeated experiments (n=3–5) of phospho-4E-BP1 in HeyA8 and SKOV-3 cells were quantified using ImageJ. A significant increase in the phosphorylation among siRGS10 cells (*p<0.05 vs siRISC) is observed. (C) HeyA8, OVCAR-3 or (D) SKOV-3 cells were processed for detection of RGS10 protein expression and actin.
