Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A and B ) Images of colony formation using the indicated human SS cells (HSSY II, SYO-1, Yamato-SS, and MoJo), stably transduced with either a control shRNA or the ones targeting WDR5 (shWDR5-1 or shWDR5-2) (A), or the parental SS cells grown in the presence of the indicated concentration of DMSO, OICR-9429, MS67, MS67N1, or MS67N2 (B). All experiments were repeated at least twice, with representative results shown here. ( C and D ) WB of WDR5, RBPP5, c-MYC, and tubulin in HSSY II (left) and SYO-1 cells (right) treated with the indicated concentration of DMSO, MS67, MS67N1, or MS67N2 for 48 hours (h) (C), or with 2.5 μM of MS67 for the indicated duration (D). All experiments were repeated at least twice, with representative results shown here. ( E ) Plots of growth inhibition using the indicated SS cells, treated with a range of concentration ( x axis) of either OICR-9429 (top), MS67 (second row), MS67N1 (third row), or MS67N2 (bottom) for 2, 4, 6, or 8 days. Y axis, presented in the means ± SEM of replicated data, shows the relative growth after normalization of the cell number to the DMSO-treated controls ( n = 3 independent experiments).
