TLP-mediated transcriptional shutdown after etoposide exposure is crucial for efficient apoptosis induction. (a,b) Control (ctrl) and TLP-knockdown (shTLP) HeLa cells were treated with 50 μM etoposide (Eto) for 24 h or left untreated (NT), and the total H2Bub level was monitored by Western blotting. Where indicated, α-amanitin was added to the final concentration of 2 µg/ml 12 h before analysis. (c) Control and TLP-knockdown HeLa cells were treated with 50 μM etoposide and indicated concentrations of α-amanitin. Cell viability was determined by SF assay and normalized to the cell number under nontreated conditions. The y-axis represents the average and S.D. of three independent experiments. (d) Control and TLP-knockdown HeLa cells were treated as in (b), and the conversion of Procaspase-3 (pro-Casp3) to Caspase-3 (Casp3) was monitored by Western blotting. (e) Etoposide sensitivity of B02-treated HeLa cells. Control and TLP-knockdown HeLa cells were treated with indicated concentrations of etoposide with or without 10 μM B02 for 36 h, and cell viability was determined by SF assay. The y-axis represents the average and S.D. of three independent experiments.
