Effect of GPNA on BEAS-2B. (a) Western blot analysis of GGT and ASCT2 expression in A549 and BEAS-2B cells. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. S6. (b,c) BEAS-2B cells were incubated for 48 hrs with 250 μM GPNA. Where indicated, 20 mU/ml of purified human GGT (hGGT) and 20 μM GGsToP were added to the incubation mixture. The “GGT tr.” sample corresponds to BEAS-2B cells stably transfected with human GGT (see 2.2 section in Material and Methods for further details). (b) Cell viability with the resazurin method; (c) Apoptosis index with Hoechst staining. Data are expressed as means ± s.d. of six values and were analyzed by one-way ANOVA with Newman–Keuls test for multiple comparisons. (*)p < 0.0001 as compared to “GPNA”.
