Time | Assay/analysis | Effects | Figure or table |
---|---|---|---|
1 h | Western blot, qPCR | Enhancement of Akt and ERK signaling | Fig. 1, Table S1 |
2.5 h | Microarray, qPCR, Ingenuity pathway analysis, GSEA | 80 % of the differentially expressed genes downregulated. High enrichment in the gene set that is also observed in cancer, cardiovascular disease, stress, aging and hormone-related chemical and genetic perturbations | Figs. 2, 3, and 6; S1, Table S1, S3, and S4 |
3.5 h | qPCR | Similar to 2.5 h | Fig. 3c and Table S1 |
24 h | Crystal Violet, Luciferase | Cell proliferation not affected. Inhibited: SP1, NFκB, Wnt, VDR, Pax6, Pax3, E2F, p53, AP1 MAPK/JNK, and C/EBP signaling pathways Activated: SRE MAPK/ERK, YY1, PI3K/AKT FOXO, LXR, GATA, and PPAR signaling pathways | Figs. 4 and 5 |
48 h | Western blot, Crystal Violet, MTT, apoptosis | Decrease in proliferative abilities and increased apoptosis | Fig. 4 |
1 Week | Western blot | Enhanced differentiation | Fig. 4 |
