Transient depletion of r-proteins via Dox-inducible shRNA identifies Rps19 as an inducer of cytoprotection against CPT and MTX. (a) The indicated shRNAs were either induced with Dox for 48 h or not induced, cells were treated with 0 or 0.4 μM CPT for 24 h and the surviving viable cells were stained with crystal violet after a 5-day recovery in Dox-free medium. (b) Rps19 shRNA was induced for 48 h with Dox or not induced, cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of CPT for 24 h or MTX for 48 h and stained as above. (c) Dox induction of Rps19 shRNA confers protection against CPT and MTX, but not mitoxantrone. Cells were induced for 48 h with Dox or not induced and then treated with various concentrations of CPT and mitoxantrone for 24 h or with MTX for 48 h. Results were analyzed as in Fig. 2. (d) p53 is necessary for cytoprotective effects of Rps19 depletion. 3T3 cells and its p53-null derivative line MA1.2 were transfected with Dox-inducible Rps19 shRNA and analyzed as in Fig. 3b.
