YM155 suppresses Mcl-1 protein levels, but not mRNA levels and such protein may occur partly through a proteasomal-independent mechanism. (A,B) PC-3, DU-145, and RCC4 cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of YM155 for 8 and 24 h, and Western blotted for Mcl-1 and β-Actin. (C,D) Effect of YM155 on Mcl-1 mRNA expression in PC-3 was assessed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR (C) and quantitative real-time PCR (D). (E) PC-3 cells were pretreated for 30 min with 5 or 10 µM MG132, followed by treatment with 100 nM YM155 or vehicle for 4 h, after which cells were subjected to Western blotting for expression of Mcl-1 and β-Actin. (F) The combined effect of MG132 and CHX (30 min) on the YM155-induced suppression of Mcl-1 in PC-3 cells after 4 h, assessed by Western blot. Unless indicated on the figure, each group of blots represents data obtained from a single gel and experiment. Results shown are representative of 2 to 3 independent experiments.
