DP1 does not affect E2F-induced apoptosis. (A) DP1 knockdown suppresses DNA synthesis induced by serum stimulation or expression of E1a. FACS analysis of BrdU-positive cells in WI-38 cells expressing DP1-shRNA stimulated with serum or expressing E1a. **P < 0.01. (B) DP1 knockdown suppresses cell proliferation induced by serum stimulation. Growth curve of WI-38 cells expressing DP1-shRNA. **P < 0.01. (CF) DP knockdown does not reduce deregulated E2F-induced apoptosis. (C,D) Percentage of cells with a sub-G1 DNA content (C) and annexin V-stained cells (D) in WI-38 cells infected with Ad-shDP1s and either Ad-E2F1 or Ad-12SE1A. **P < 0.01. (E,F) Percentage of cells with a sub-G1 DNA content (E) and annexin V-stained cells (F) in WI-38 cells infected with Ad-shDP1 and/or Ad-shDP2, and either Ad-E2F1 or Ad-12SE1A. **P < 0.01. (G,H) DP1 does not contribute to E2F1-induced apoptosis in WI-38 cells. Percentage of sub-G1 population (left panel) and annexin V-positive cells (right panel) in WI-38 cells expressing E2F1 and/or DP1. WI-38 cells were infected with Ad-E2F1 at low MOI (20) (G) or high MOI (150) (H). **P < 0.01.
