(A) OTX015 induces cell cycle changes in OTX015-sensitive NSCLC cell lines. Effect of 500 nM OTX015 on cell cycle progression after 24 h in H2228 and H3122 and after 72 h in HOP92 and A549 cells, by FACScan, expressed as percent cells per cell cycle phase (*p < 0.05 for G0/G1 cell cycle phase, and #p < 0.05 for S phase). (B) OTX015 modulates MYC and MYCN mRNA levels in sensitive and resistant NSCLC cell lines. Effect of 500 nM OTX015 on MYC and MYCN mRNA levels after 4 and 24 h by qPCR, expressed as fluorescence intensity normalized to housekeeping genes. Results represent the mean ± SD of one representative experiment performed in duplicate (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 respect to controls). (C) OTX015 effects on MYC and MYCN protein levels in NSCLC cell lines by Western blot. Cells were exposed to 500 nM OTX015 for up to 72 h. Results are representative of at least two independent experiments. β-actin was used as a loading control and densitometry analysis was done using Image J software.
