SAHA, azacitidine, decitabine, oxaliplatin, fenbendazole and oxibendazole induce HMGB1 release in regular biosensor cells and wild-type cells. U2OS cells stably expressing a GFP-HMGB1 fusion (A–C) or wild-type U2OS cells (D–E) were maintained in control conditions (Ctrl); mitoxantrone (MTX) at 2 µM; suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), fenbendazole (FENB) and oxibendazole (OXB) at 5 (l), 10 (h) µM; azacitidine (AZA) at 15 (l), 30 (h) µM; decitabine (DECI) at 20 (l), 40 (h) µM; and oxaliplatin (OXA) at 50 (l), 100 (h) µM for 24 h or 48 h, followed by assessment of cytoplasmic GFP-HMGB1 fluorescence intensity (A,B) or endogenous HMGB1 level after immunostaining with an anti-HMGB1 antibody and Alexa-fluor 488 conjugated 2nd antibody and quantification of relative enrichment in the cytosol (D,E). Representative images of biosensor cell line (C) and immunofluorescence (F) are reported (scale bar = 10 µm). Data are shown as means ± SEM (n = 4; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001, two-tailed Student’s t test, compared to control cells).
