Apoptotic function of KIF1Bβ is necessary for ROS induction in neuroblastoma cells. (A) Immunoblot analysis of NB1 cells after 24 hours of transient transfection with 4 µg wild-type (FL) FLAG-KIF1Bβ or FLAG-KIF1Bβ mutants (E646V, P1217S, E1628K). Empty vector pcDNA3 (Empty) served as negative control. (B) Corresponding flow cytometric analysis of intracellular ROS in NB1 cells 24 hours post-transfection with FLAG-KIF1Bβ mutants as indicated. (C) Immunoblot analysis of NB1 cells after 24 hours of transient transfection with empty vector pcDNA3 (Empty) or FLAG-KIF1Bβ domain variants as indicated. (D) Corresponding fold change in flow cytometric analysis of intracellular ROS and (E) Fold change in intracellular O2 determined using lucigenin-based chemiluminescence assay 24 hours post-transfection in NB1 cells (mean ± SD; n = 3; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01). (F) Immunoblot analysis of CHP212 cells after 24 hours of transient transfection with empty vector pcDNA3 (Empty) or FLAG-KIF1Bβ600-1400. (G) Corresponding fold change in flow cytometric analysis of intracellular ROS and (H) Fold change in intracellular O2 determined using lucigenin-based chemiluminescence assay 24 hours post-transfection in CHP212 cells (mean ± SD; n = 3; ****P < 0.0001).
