p21 stability affects osteosarcoma cell proliferation. (A–C) Mutations of ubiquitination sites resulted in p21 accumulation in vivo. U2OS cells were transfected with p21-Flag or p21 mutants, including p21K16R-Flag, p21K75R-Flag, p21K141R-Flag, p21K154R-Flag, p21K61R-Flag, p21K163R-Flag, p21K154R K161R K163R-Flag, p21K16R K161R K163R-Flag, p21K16R K154R K163R-Flag, p21K16R K154R K161R-Flag, and p21K16R K154R K161R K163R-Flag. After 48 h incubation, cells were lysed and immunoprecipitated with anti-p21, anti-CUL4B or β-Actin antibody. (B–D) Mutations of ubiquitination sites decreased cell proliferation. Cells used in (A and C) were applied to MTT assays to evaluate cell proliferation, and cell viability was determined at 490 nm.
