Knockdown of NMI inhibits TNF-α plus CHX stimulated cell death. (A) HeLa-shCtrl and HeLa-shNMI cells were plated in 12-well plates. The following day, the cells were treated as indicated (TNF-α: 5 ng/ml, CHX: 5 μg/ml, IFNα:1000U/ml), and the cells were obtained and the ratio of cell death was determined with a Trypan blue staining assay. The results are representative of three independent experiments, and the error bars represent the SD.*p < 0.05. (B) H1299-shCtrl and H1299-shNMI cells were treated as in (A), and cell death was analysed by a Trypan blue staining assay. The results are representative of three independent experiments, and the error bars represent the SD.*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. (C) FACS analysis. HeLa-shCtrl, HeLa-shNMI and HeLa-NMI cells were untreated or treated with IFNα for 12 h and then treated with TNF-α plus CHX for the indicated times (TNF-α: 5 ng/ml, CHX: 5 μg/ml). The cells were harvested, stained with propidium iodide (PI) and annexin V -FITC analyzed by flow cytometry. Data are represented as means ± s.e.m. P-values were calculated using Student’s t-test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
