Requirement of VDAC2 for apoptosis in Bak-silenced cells. (a) Wild-type (WT) and ΔVDAC2 cells were silenced with the indicated siRNAs. The control was non-targeting siRNA. Then cell lysates were subjected to immunoblotting with antibodies for Bak, Bax, VDAC2 and GAPDH (GAPDH was the loading control). (bj) Suppression of apoptosis in Bak-silenced ΔVDAC2 cells. WT (crosses) and ΔVDAC2 (closed circles) cells were silenced with siRNAs for the non-targeting control (b, e and h), Bax (c, f and i) or Bak (d, g and j), and then were incubated with 2 μg/ml of tunicamycin (bd), 40 μM etoposide (eg) or 5 μM thapsigargin (hj) for the indicated periods. Cell viability was assessed by propidium iodide (PI) staining. Data are shown as the mean±s.d. (n=3, *P<0.05 versus WT cells).
