Effects of 5-HT2BR inhibitor (SB) on G2/M progression induced by CaS or 5-HT. (A) HaCaT cells synchronized at G2/M arrest by nocodazole were pretreated with 10 μM SB215505 before treatment with CaS and 5-HT for 24 h. These cells were then fixed and stained with PI and analyzed by FACS. (B–D) SB215505 treatment induced delay of G1 release (B) and increase G2/M population (D) without causing significant change in S population (C). Filled symbols represent CaS or 5-HT treatment only. Empty symbols represent cells pre-treated with SB215505 before 5-HT or CaS treatment. (E) Cells were pre-treated with SB215505 (10 μM) to inhibit 5-HT2BR for 30 min before treatment with 10 μM of 5-HT or CaS. After 6 h of treatment with 5-HT or CaS, cell lysates were collected and cyclin B protein levels were measured by western blotting.
