Decreasing p53 levels prevents DCA-induced stress ligands upregulation. (A) OCI-AML3 cells were transfected with siRNA for p53 or control siRNA and 24 h later were treated with 1and 5 mM DCA for 3 days. Protein and mRNA levels were quantified as described in Supplemental Fig. 1 and Fig. 1, respectively. Bar graphs denote the % of mRNA compared to non-treated cells and represent means ± SD of 3 independent experiments; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.005 student t-test compare to non-treated cells. (B) The expression of stress ligands in cell membrane were analyzed by FACs.
