Figure Lengend Snippet: Regulation of Cdk1 and Cdk2 by CIP2A is dependent on B‐Myb rather than c‐Myc. A, Western blot analysis of CIP2A, c‐Myc, phospho‐S62‐Myc and B‐Myb protein levels in 16E6‐expressing cells after CIP2A knockdown. β‐Tubulin was used as a loading control. B, Protein levels of B‐Myb, c‐Myc and phospho‐S62‐Myc in 16E6‐expressing PHKs and (C) RPE1 cells. D, Protein levels of B‐Myb, Cdk1 and Cdk2, CIP2A and p53 in 16E6‐expressing cells after B‐Myb knockdown with siRNA. Data from a representative of 3 experiments are shown. E, Knockdown of B‐Myb down‐regulates Cdk1 and Cdk2 luciferase reporter activities. RPE1 cells were cotransfected with the Cdk1 or Cdk2 promoter‐luciferase constructs and renilla luciferase control plasmid together with B‐Myb siRNA plasmid. Cells were harvested after 48 h, and lysates were assayed for luciferase activity. F, Flow cytometric analysis of 16E6‐expressing cells transfected with B‐Myb siRNA treated with PBS or bleomycin. G1, S and G2 phases are indicated. A representative flow cytometry of 3 independent experiments is shown. G, Quantification of percentages G1 phase cells. Data from 3 experiments are summarized. H, Western blot analysis of B‐Myb, Cdk1 and Cdk2 in B‐Myb–overexpressing CIP2A knockdown cells. Data from a representative of 3 experiments are shown. *, P < .05; ***, P < .001
