Effect of DK1913 on the induction of genotoxic stress response in HCT116 cells. HCT116 cells were treated with 5 μM DK1913 for different time periods. Cell lysates were subjected to immunoblotting using antibodies against genotoxic response proteins. Arrow: proform of BID (pro-BID); arrowhead: truncated form of BID (t-BID); GAPDH: internal control. Band intensities in each blot were measured using ImageJ software and expressed relative to the basal control band (set to 1) after normalizing with p53 or GAPDH. The data are presented as means ± SD (n = 3). NS, not significant; ; ; ; compared with the 0-time control according to Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test.
