Binding of MUC1 and c-Abl attenuates DNA damage-induced apoptosis. (A) HCT116/vector, HCT116/MUC1 and HCT116/MUC1(Y60F) cells were treated with CDDP for 2 and 4 h. Nuclear lysates were immunoblotted with anti-c-Abl, anti-lamin B and anti-IkappaBalpha. Intensity of the signals was determined by densitometric scanning and compared to that for untreated cells. (B) Anti-MUC1-N precipitates from HCT116/MUC1 cells treated with CDDP for the indicated times were immunoblotted with anti-c-Abl and anti-MUC1-N. (C) HCT116/vector, HCT116/MUC1 and HCT116/MUC1(Y60F) cells were treated with CDDP for indicated times. Lysates were immunoblotted with anti-PKCdelta and anti-beta-actin. FL: full-length. CF: cleaved fragments. (D) The results from sub-G1 DNA analysis of HCT116/vector, HCT116/MUC1 and HCT116/MUC1(Y60F) cells treated with CDDP for 0 h (open bars), 12 h (solid bars) or 24 h (hatched bars) are expressed as the percentage apoptosis (meanplusminuss.d. of three separate experiments). (E) The results from sub-G1 DNA analysis of HCT116/vector, HCT116/MUC1 and HCT116/MUC1(Y60F) cells left untreated (open bars) or treated with CDDP alone for 12 h (solid bars), STI571 alone for 12 h (shaded bars) or both CDDP and STI571 for 12 h (hatched bars) are expressed as the percentage apoptosis (meanplusminuss.d. of three separate experiments). (F) The results from sub-G1 DNA analysis of HCT116/vector, HCT116/MUC1 and HCT116/MUC1(Y60F) cells transfected with the control CsiRNA or c-AblsiRNA and left untreated (open bars) or treated with CDDP for 12 h (solid bars) are expressed as the percentage of apoptosis (mean+s.d. of three separate experiments). NS, not significant.
