FICZ-induced MMP1 expression is blocked by CH-223191 and AHR ligand-induced AHR protein degradation is blocked by CH-223191 and proteasome inhibitor MG132. (a) GOFs were plated and treated with vehicle or CH-223191 (at 1 or 10 μM) for 1 hour before treatment with vehicle or 1 μM FICZ for an additional 24 or 72 hours. CH-223191 was added every 24 hours in the 72-hour samples. Cell lysates were collected and analyzed by Western blotting for MMP1 and β-tubulin (loading control) (b). Cells treated as in (a) were analyzed for AHR and β-tubulin (loading control) by Western blot. (c) GOFs were plated and treated with vehicle or proteasome inhibitor MG132 (at 10 or 25 μM) for 1 hour before treatment with vehicle or 1 μM FICZ for an additional 24 or 72 hours. MG132 was added every 24 hours in the 72-hour samples. Cell lysates were collected and analyzed by Western blotting for AHR and β-tubulin (loading control). Full length blots are shown in Supplemental Fig. 19).
