PAR-4 is required for DNA damage-induced apoptosis in TNBC cells. (a) PAR-4 expression was silenced in BT-20 and MDA-MB-468 cells by using two PAR-4 specific siRNAs (siPAR-4 #1 and #2), and a scrambled siRNA as a control (siControl). Knockdown efficiency was analysed 48 h after transfection. (Left panel) After 48 hours, cells were stimulated with Etoposide (100 μM) for 16 h and cell lysates were analysed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies. (Right panel) (b) BT-20 and MDA-MB-468 cells from (a) were prepared for cell cycle analysis and the sub-G1 population was measured via flow cytometry. Average values from three independent experiments are shown. Error bars indicate ± SD. P-value was obtained by two-tailed Student’s t-Test. (a) Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. S3.
