doi: 10.5051/jpis.2402980149
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) LUC activity of −85ODAM, −116ODAM, −174ODAM, −200ODAM, −300ODAM, −330ODAM, −480ODAM, −700ODAM, and −950ODAM constructs were increased by IL-6 (10 ng/mL) after 12 hours of treatment in Ca9-22 cells. Transcriptional activity was determined from 4 separate transfections, and the combined values are expressed with SDs. (B) Effects of kinase inhibitors on the LUC activity of −480ODAM, stimulated by IL-6. Transient transfection analyses of −480ODAM in Ca9-22 cells, with or without IL-6 (10 ng/mL) treatment, were conducted alongside the effects of inhibitors of PKC (H7, 5 μM), PKA (KT5720, 100 nM), tyrosine kinase (HA, 1 μM), MEK1/2 (U0126, 5 μM), PI3K (LY294002, 10 μM), NF-κB (triptolide, 100 nM), STAT3 (stattic, 10 µM), STAT1 (fludarabine, 10 µM), and gp130 (SC144, 1 μM). Transcriptional activity was determined from 3 separate transfections, with the combined values expressed with SDs. ODAM: odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein, IL-6: interleukin-6, LUC: luciferase, SD: standard deviation, PKC: protein kinase C, PKA: protein kinase A, MEK1/2: mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2, PI3K: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, NF-κB: nuclear factor-kappa B, STAT: signal transducer and activator of transcription, gp130: glycoprotein 130. Significant differences from the control are indicated by ** P <0.01.
Article Snippet: Twelve hours after transfection, the cells were switched to a serum-free medium for 12 hours and then treated with one of the following inhibitors for 30 minutes: 5 μM protein kinase C inhibitor H7 (Seikagaku Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), 100 nM protein kinase A inhibitor KT5720 (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 μM mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2) inhibitor U0126 (Promega), 10 μM phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA), 100 nM NF-κB inhibitor triptolide (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK), 1 μM glycoprotein 130 (gp130) inhibitor SC144 (MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA), 10 μM STAT1 inhibitor fludarabine (NSC 118218; Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, USA), or 10 μM STAT3 inhibitor stattic (Axon Medchem, Reston, VA, USA).
