Characterization of cells resistant to APTO-253. A, Concentration–survival curves for Raji (), Raji/253R (
), Raji/253R, and Raji/253R cells after culture in drug-free medium for 3 months (
). B, Western blot analysis of proteins involved in apoptosis in Raji and Raji/253R treated with DMSO or APTO-253 0.5 μmol/L for 24 hours. C, The intracellular accumulation of APTO-253 (
) and Fe(253)3 (
) in Raji and Raji/253R cells after a 6-hour exposure to 0.5 μmol/L APTO-253. D, The intracellular accumulation of Fe(253)3 in the Raji and Raji/253R cells at 6 hours as a function of APTO-253 concentration. Vertical bars, ±SEM. ** P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001.
