EZH2 depletion promotes resistance in the myeloid cell line K562. (a) Comparison of IC50 values for DNR and AraC in twelve haematopoietic cell lines. Cells were treated with AraC/DNR for 72 h. (b) Immunoblot for EZH2 expression and global H3K27me3 of seven EZH2−/− and six EZH2wt sc clones in K562 cells. MW, molecular weight; β-actin and H3 total, loading controls. (c) Comparison of AraC IC50 values in EZH2wt (n = 6) and EZH2−/− (n = 7) clones. Cells were treated with AraC/DMSO for 72 h. Each value represents the mean of three independent experiments. (d) Proliferation of EZH2wt (n = 4) and EZH2−/− (n = 7) clones for 5 d. Medium was changed every 48 h. (e), Long-term low dose AraC treatment in EZH2wt (n = 3) and EZH2−/− (n = 3) clones. Cells were treated with 30 nM AraC/DMSO for 12 d. Viable cells relative to untreated control. Unpaired, two-tailed Student’s t-test; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. Error bars indicate mean ± s.d of three independent experiments.
