a Annexin-V/PI high content microscopy analysis of PC3, DU145 and VCaP cells treated for 24 h with 10 nM scrambled control (SC) siRNA, FLIP(S) specific (FS) siRNA, FLIP(L)-specific (FL) siRNA or siRNA targeting both FLIP(L) and FLIP(S) spliceforms (FT) siRNA followed by 24 h treatment with 1 μM TL32711(TL) + /−10ng/mL TNFα. b Western blot of PARP, cIAP1 and FLIP expression in PC3, DU145 and VCaP cells treated for 24 h with 10 nM scrambled control (SC) siRNA, FLIP(S) specific (FS) siRNA, FLIP(L)-specific (FL) siRNA or siRNA targeting both FLIP(L) and FLIP(S) spliceforms (FT) siRNA followed by 6 h treatment with 1 μM TL32711 in combination with 10 ng/mL TNFα. c, Left – Western blot of FLIP, FADD, RIPK1 and caspase-8 following caspase-8 immunoprecipitation in PC3 cells treated for 24 h with 10 nM Scramble Control (SC), FLIP-Total (FT) or untransfected (−) followed by 3 h with 1 µM TL32711 and 10 ng/mL TNFα; cells were pretreated with 20 µM z-VAD-fmk. Total cell lysate is presented in the panel on the right. d Western blot of FLIP, HDAC1 and HSP90 in cytoplasmic (cC) and nuclear (nN) fractions following 24 h treatment with 10 nM scrambled control (SC) siRNA or siRNA targeting both FLIP(lL) and FLIP(sS) spliceforms (FT). e Western blot of PARP and FLIP expression (Left), and caspase-3/7 activity assay (right) in DU145 cells treated for 1 h with 1 ng/mL Leptomycin-B (Lep), 6 h TL32711(TL) + TNFα or pretreated for 1 h with Leptomycin-B(Lep) followed by 6 h TL32711(TL) + TNFα (Combo). f Cell viability assay of PC3 cells retrovirally infected to stably overexpress empty vector(EV), wild-type FLIP(sS)(FS WT), wild-type FLIP(L) (FL WT) and FADD-binding-deficient F114A mutant FLIP(sS) (FS F114) treated for 72 h with 1 μM TL32711 in combination with 10 ng/mL TNFα (Left). Right: Western blot analysis of parental PC3 and PC3 cells retrovirally infected to stably overexpress empty vector(EV), wild-type FLIP(sS)(FS WT), wild-type FLIP(L)(FL WT) and FADD-binding-deficient F114A mutant FLIP(sS)(FS F114A). *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01 and ***p ≤ 0.001
