SPR965 induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in ovarian cancer cells. The Hey and SKOV3 cells were treated with SPR965 at different concentrations for 8 h. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) products were measured by DCFH-DA assay. SPR965 significantly increased the levels of ROS in both cell lines compared to the control cells (A). Western blotting results showed that SPR965 increased the expression of cellular stress-related proteins including PERK, Ero1, and Bip in both cell lines after treatment for 24 h (B). Immunohistochemistry results showed that SPR965 increased the expression of Bip in the ovarian tumors of KpB mice (C). The results are shown as the mean ± SD and are representative of three independent experiments. *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
