Snol-A caused growth arrest that was mediated by upregulation of p21WAF1. (A) Cell cycle profiles of Snol-A treated SKOV-3 (6 and 10 µM), Saos-2 and MDA-MB-231(10 & 20 µM) cells showing increase in S phase and growth arrest. Treatment with higher doses of Snol-A, 10 µM, in SKOV-3 and 20 µM in MDA-MB-231 cells showed increase in apoptotic population. Quantitation (% sub-population) in control and Snol-A treated cells is shown on the right. (B) Immunoblots showing an increase in p21WAF1 and decrease in CDK2, Cyclin A, Cyclin D1 and CDK4 proteins expression levels; quantitation of their levels is shown on the right. (C) RT-PCR based mRNA expression analysis showing increased p21WAF1 transcript level on Snol-A treatment; quantitation of its transcript level is shown on the right. (D) p21WAF1 promoter-dependent luciferase activity showed significant increase in Snol-A treated SKOV-3 cells. (E) Immunostaining of Cyclin D1 and CDK2 showed dose dependent decrease in Snol-A treated cells; Quantitation is shown on the right.
