Phorbol ester attenuates cultured cell GNAQQ209L levels and in vivo melanoma tumorigenesis. (a) Quantitative western blot analyses of Gαq-Q209L and Ric-8A (control) levels in GNAQQ209L melanoma cell line lysates prepared at the indicated times of MG132 treatment. Three TPA treatment schedules were followed: no treatment, co-treatment with MG132 and 48 h pre-treatment and co-treatment with MG132. (b) Tumor growth kinetics of NSG mice grafted with the Gαq-Q209L melanocyte cell line, followed by systemic animal treatment with the indicated schedule of TPA or vehicle. The average weights and images of tumors isolated from TPA- and vehicle-treated mice at day 61 post cell grafting. Error bars are the mean±s.e.m. (n=6 or 7).
