Figure 2

CDDO-Me inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in osteosarcoma cell lines. A) To analyze the effect of CDDO-Me, KHOS, U-2OS, KHOSR2, U-2OSTR, and HOB-c were exposed to varying concentrations of CDDO-Me for 7 days. Growth inhibition was assessed by MTT. B) Parental cells KHOS, U-2OS and MDR cells KHOSR2 and U-2OSTR were treated with CDDO-Me in a dose-dependent manner. Total cellular proteins were subjected to immunoblotting with specific antibodies to PARP and β-actin. PARP cleavage was detected in all four osteosarcoma cell lines after treatment with CDDO-Me. The anti-PARP antibodies demonstrate 118 kd full length PARP and 85 kd cleaved PARP fragment.
