Figure 5. CDK11 knockdown enhances the cytotoxic effect of paclitaxel in SKOV-3 and OVCAR-8 cell lines.
A: The 5 nM non-lethal dose of CDK11 siRNA was chosen for SKOV-3 and OVCAR-8, and 3 nM and 1 nM doses of paclitaxel for SKOV-3 and OVCAR-8, respectively. Proliferation was assessed by MTT as described in the Materials and Methods. The data represent the mean ± SD of two experiments carried out in triplicate. B: The CDK11 expression SKOV-3 and OVCAR-8 was analyzed by Western blotting with specific antibody to CDK11 and β-actin after transfection with CDK11 siRNA or non-specific siRNA.
