Figure 10. DBC1 knockdown promotes phosphorylation level of p53. (A) The Mock KO and DBC1 KO cell lines were respectively treated with DMSO, 40 mU GO and 25 μm etoposide (ETOP) for 5 hours, then their lysates were subjected to immunoblot analysis for total p53 and its phosphorylation as indicated. GAPDH served as a loading control. (B) Quantification of the Western blot results in panel A. All values were expressed as means ± standard deviations. Student t-test: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and NS: not significant.
