A: Ceramide levels from MOLM-14 cells transduced with a
control vector or CERS6 for overexpression and treated with Vehicle or CNL
15μM for 24 hours. N = 5; shown are means +/− S.E.M.
*p<0.001 to vector, # p<0.036 vs. CERS6, $, p<0.03 vs.
vector+CNL. Insert shows expression of FLAG-CERS6 and β-actin.
B: Cell death was assessed in control or CERS5 or CERS6
overexpressing MOLM-14 treated with the indicated drug combinations (CNL
15μM, Ara-C 1.25μM, venetoclax 50nM) for 24 hours. N = 5; shown
are means +/− S.E.M. *, p<0.05 between control vector and CERS5 or
control vector and CERS6 overexpression in each treatment group.
