Fig. 7

a HCT-116 cell viability upon treatment with increasing concentrations of bis-ANS for 6 or 24 h as determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Error bars represent SD (n = 5 technical replicates across two biological replicates). b Live-cell imaging of HCT-116 cells with or without 1 h treatment with 250 μΜ bis-ANS. Nuclei were stained with 1:1000 Draq5. c Schematic diagram of sodium arsenite washout experiments described. HCT-116 cells were treated for 30 min with 500 μΜ sodium arsenite in culture medium. Arsenite was removed and medium containing 250 μΜ bis-ANS or medium alone (control) was added. Cells at different time points after sodium arsenite removal were fixed and stained with DAPI and with an antibody against G3BP. d Representative microscopy images obtained 60 and 90 min after arsenite removal. e Quantitative assessment of percentage of cells exhibiting punctate G3BP staining in the presence and absence of bis-ANS at different times after arsenite removal. Note that data points at 0 min represent analysis of the same images for control and treatment groups. Scale bars represent 20 μm. All data are presented as mean values ± standard deviation (n = 3, each independent experiment analyzing 20 fields of view).
