JAK1-deficient hTERT urothelial cells demonstrate preserved population growth and reduced apoptosis in response to IFNγ. (A) KD and Sc hTERT immortalized urothelial cell lines were cultured with addition of Alamar Blue (AB) dye and stimulated with IFNγ (5 ng/ml) for the given time points. The capacity of viable cells to reduce AB dye was used as a proxy for cell number. Data (A) is from five independent experiments. (B–E) KD and Sc hTERT urothelial cell lines were stimulated with the given concentrations of IFNγ for 5 days. Percentage of early and late apoptosis was quantified with Annexin V/PI apoptosis detection kit by flow cytometry. Data (B–D) are from five independent experiments, data (E) is from a representative experiment. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's Multiple Comparison post-test. *P < 0.05. Error bars represent the SE.
