a, b MOLM-13 or MV4–11 cells were treated for 8 h with ABT-199 (1 μM) or for 4 h with S63845 (1 μM). MONO-MAC-6 cells were treated with S63845 (1 μM) for 2 h prior to analysis of BAX and BAK activation by IP. Input is shown to demonstrate equal protein expression in the lysate. A representative experiment is shown (n = 2–3). c, d MOLM-13, MV4-11 or MONO-MAC-6 cells were transiently transfected with siRNA against BAX or BAK or non-targeting control siRNA (siCtrl), followed by treatment with c ABT-199 (24 h) or d S63845 (MOLM-13 and MV4-11: 4 h, MONO-MAC-6: 2 h) and analysis of apoptosis by staining with Annexin-V/FITC and flow cytometry. Mean and SD of three independent experiments performed in triplicate are shown. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. e Expression levels of BAX and BAK were assessed by Western blotting for transfected MOLM-13, MV4-11 and MONO-MAC-6 cells with GAPDH serving as loading control.
