Article Title: The role of KDM4A‐mediated histone methylation on temozolomide resistance in glioma cells through the HUWE1 / ROCK2 axis
doi: 10.1002/kjm2.12768
Figure Lengend Snippet: Partial Reversal of KDM4A Inhibition's Effect on TMZ Resistance in Glioma Cells by HUWE1 Inhibition. Two siRNAs (si‐HUWE1‐1 and si‐HUWE1‐2) were transfected into T98G cells, with si‐NC serving as the control. (A) Transfection efficiency assessed by qRT‐PCR, with si‐HUWE1‐1 selected for combined experiments with si‐KDM4A‐1 due to better transfection efficiency. (B) Expressions of ROCK2 and HUWE1 evaluated by Western blot. (C) ROCK2 ubiquitination level assessed by co‐immunoprecipitation, with IgG serving as the isotype control. (D) Cell viability after 48 h of TMZ treatment measured by CCK‐8 assay and the calculated IC50 value. (E) Cell proliferation ability after treating T98G cells with TMZ concentration of 365 μM for 48 h, evaluated by the clone formation assay. Each experiment was independently repeated three times. Data in panels A/D (right)/E were analyzed using one‐way ANOVA, while data in panels B/D (left) were analyzed using two‐way ANOVA, followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons test; ** p < 0.01.
