Influence of monensin on viability and MYB expression of human AML cell lines

 M.V. Yusenko, et al. Cancer Letters 479 (2020) 61–70 Fig. 2. Influence of monensin on viability and MYB expression of human AML cell lines. A. Cells were cultured for 48 h in the presence of the indicated concentrations of monensin, followed by an MTS assay. Data is presented as percentage of remaining viable relative to cells cultured without monensin. B. Different AML cell lines and HEKMYBLuc cells were treated for 24 or 48 h with the indicated concentrations of monensin. Total cell extracts were then analyzed by western blotting for MYB and β-actin expression. C. Northern blot analysis of MYB mRNA expression in NB4 cells treated for 2 days with 0.3 or 1 μM monensin. Ribosomal protein S17 mRNA was used as a loading control. The numbers refer to the amounts of MYB mRNA relative to untreated NB4 cells. D.
