Knockdown of Mcl1 or Cdk4-induced cell cycle arrest and inhibited ES cell proliferation. a Mcl1 and Cdk4 siRNA analysis and expression check in murine and human ES cell lines resulted in upregulation of total RB and lower amount of pS780-RB. b Colony-forming assay in Matrigel displayed reduced clonogenic potency of EF-dependent cell lines after knockdown of Mcl1 or Cdk4 by siRNA treatment. c Cell cycle analysis of Mcl1 or Cdk4 siRNA treatment displayed enhanced G1 arrest. d In vitro growth inhibition of mouse and human EF-dependent cell lines by Palbociclib as well as the combinatorial treatment of Palbociclib and Obatoclax in triplicate. Cells were treated with inhibitors at the indicated concentration for 24 h. e CDK4/6 inhibition by Palbociclib displayed similar results as seen in the CDK4 siRNA assay
