Figure EV5. Analysis of subcellular localization and function of E2F5 in HPV(+) HNSCC cells.
- Effects of shRNA‐mediated knockdown on E2F5 on ATG5, Drp1, and LC3B mRNAs were measured using qRT–PCR in UM‐SCC‐47 cells compared to Scr‐shRNA‐transfected controls. Data are means ± SD from three independent experiments.
- Subcellular localization of E2F5 was assessed in the presence/absence of C18‐pyr‐cer (20 μM, 1 h) by immunofluorescence using fixed confocal micrographs of UM‐SCC47 cells stained with DAPI, anti‐F‐actin, and anti‐E2F5 antibodies. Images represent at least three independent experiments. Scale bars represent 100 μm.
- Protein abundance of E2F5 in cytoplasm versus nucleus in the presence/absence of cisplatin (20 μM, for 0, 1, 2, and 4 h) was detected by Western blotting using cytoplasm‐ versus nuclei‐enriched subcellular fractions of UM‐SCC‐47 cells using anti‐E2F5 antibody. Anti‐clathrin antibody was used to validate cytoplasmic fractions, whereas anti‐lamin B antibody was used to validate nuclear fractions. Western blot images represent at least three independent experiments.
