Fig 3. Subcellular levels of p53 protein in hTCEpi-TR cell lines.
(A) Cytosolic and nuclear fractions from cell lysates of hTCEpi-TR-ALDH3A1wt and hTCEpi-TR-ALDH3A1mu cells treated with vehicle (-TET) or tetracycline (1μg/ml) (+TET) were immunoblotted for p53, ALDH3A1, GAPDH or PARP1 expression. (B) Relative levels of ALDH3A1 (upper panels) and p53 (lower panels) expression by densitometry analysis of immunoblots. Results are expressed as the fold of untreated cells (-TET) after correction for respective loading controls (GAPDH for cytosolic extracts; PARP-1 for nuclear extracts). Data are presented as mean + S.E.M (N = 3). *p <0.05, Students unpaired t-test, compared to untreated cells (-TET) of the same cell line. #p <0.05, Students unpaired t-test, compared to treated (+TET) ALDH3A1wt cells.
