REEP1/2- and EI24-mediated ER Shaping are Required for DNA Damage-induced Apoptosis. a Western blot (WB) analysis of lysates from HEK293 cells transfected with the vector or 3× Flag-EI24 and treated with DMSO, cpt, doxo or eto for 12 h. GAPDH served as a loading control. b Western blot analysis of lysates from wild-type (WT) or REEP1/2 double knockout (DKO) U2OS cells transfected with the indicated plasmids and treated with 1 μM doxo for 24 h. c Western blot analysis of lysates from wild-type and EI24-knockout (KO) U2OS cells treated with DMSO, 50 μM eto, 1 μM cpt or 1 μM doxo for 24 h. d Western blot analysis of wild-type and EI24-knockout U2OS cells transfected with 3× Flag-EI24 or 3× Flag-EI24ΔH1 and treated with 1 μM cpt for 24 h. e Quantification of flow cytometry data for wild-type, REEP1/2 double knockout (DKO), or EI24 knockout cells positive for Annexin V. Cells were treated with 1 μM cpt for 14 h. f Western blot analysis of U2OS cells overexpressing the indicated proteins and treated with 1 μM doxo for 24 h. g Western blot analysis of lysates from REEP1/2 double knockout U2OS cells transfected with the vector, REEP1 or REEP1ΔH2 and treated with 1 μM doxo for 24 h. h Western blot analysis of wild-type and EI24-knockout U2OS cells transfected with REEP1/2 and treated with 1 μM cpt for 24 h. i Western blot analysis of wild-type and EI24-knockout U2OS cells transfected with control (shControl) or REEP1/2 shRNA (shREEP1/2) and treated with 1 μM cpt for 24 h. j Western blot analysis of U2OS cells transfected with the indicated shRNA alone or together with 3× Flag-EI24 and treated with 1 μM cpt for 24 h
