Fig. 4. Cyclin E and CDK2 expression are enhanced in cisplatin-resistant samples and further elevated in cisplatin-resistant samples treated with palbociclib.
a Representative immunoblots of cyclin E, phosphor-CDK2, total CDK2, and actin for tumor cell lysates obtained from untreated cisplatin naϊve (gray) and cisplatin-resistant xenografts (black). b Quantification by photo densitometry was performed on bands using Image Lab Software, cyclin E levels were normalized to β-actin loading control, and the ratio of p-CDK2/total CDK2 was calculated. c Representative immunoblots of cisplatin-resistant tumor cell lysates after 14 days of daily treatment with either vehicle control (black) or palbociclib (blue). Lysates were harvested 24 h after final dosing. d Accompanying quantification by photo densitometry. All quantification is presented as mean ± SD.
