Article Title: Weighted Correlation Network Analysis Reveals CDK2 as a Regulator of a Ubiquitous Environmental Toxin-Induced Cell-Cycle Arrest
doi: 10.3390/cells9010143
Figure Lengend Snippet: E2F1 and E2F4 were downregulated by OTA exposure. ( A ) E2F1 and E2F4 were significantly downregulated following 100 nM OTA exposure according to RNA-sequencing data in both cell lines, while E2F7 was found to be upregulated only in HEK293-T cells. Due to the consistent results between the two cell lines, the expression of E2F1 and E2F4 only was verified by RT-qPCR ( B ) and Western blot ( C ) (mean ± SD, * p < 0.05, N = 3).
Article Snippet: CDKN1A/p21 (Cell Signaling Technology, cat. no. 2946, Frankfurt, Germany), CDK2 (Cell Signaling Technology, cat. no. 2546), and E2F4 (R&D, cat. no. AF5139) were detected using IRDye-coupled fluorescent secondary antibodies (LI-COR Biosciences, Bad Homburg, Germany) and an Odyssey imaging system from LI-COR Biosciences.
Techniques: RNA Sequencing Assay, Expressing, Quantitative RT-PCR, Western Blot
