Effects of RV treatment on the colony-forming ability of NSCLC cells. Briefly, A549 and H460 lung cancer cells were cultured at low density in the presence of different concentrations of RV or DMSO as vehicle control in 60 mm dishes for 10 22948146 to 12 days to allow the formation cell colonies. CP21 colonies were fixed and stained with 0.5 crystal violet (Sigma) in methanol for 30 min. The number of colonies( 50 cells) was scored using a microscopy. Senescence-associated b-galactosidase (SA-b-gal) staining In situ staining of SA-b-gal was performed using a senescence bgalactosidase staining kit (Cell Signaling) as previously described [56].Real-time reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR)Total cellular RNA was prepared using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen). First-strand cDNA was synthesized from 2 mg of total RNA using SuperScript III first-strand synthesis system (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The expression levels of SOD1, SOD2, TXN, Nox1, Nox2, Nox3, Nox4 and Nox5 mRNAs were determined by real-time RT-PCR using SYBR Green I IQ 1 chemical information Master (Roche) and a Light Cycler 480 system (Roche). The changes in mRNA expression were calculated by the comparative Ct method as described previously [59]. Data were normalized to GAPDH expression. Primer sequences were listed in Table S1.Western blotting analysisA549 and H460 cells were treated with different doses of RV or DMSO as control. Total cell proteins were prepared at 24 h post treatment using cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling) supplemented with a cocktail of proteinase inhibitors (Sigma). Western blotting analysis was performed as previously described [56]. Briefly, fifty microgram of protein samples were resolved on 10 Mini-Protean TGX gels (Bio-Rad) and transferred onto 0.2 mM PVDF membrane (Millipore). Blots were blocked with 5 non-fat milk for 1? hrs at room temperature and then probed with primary antibodies and incubated at 4uC overnight. After extensive washing with TBS-T, blots were incubated with appropriate HRP-conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. Protein bands were detected using an ECL Plus Western Blotting Detection System (GE Healthcare Life Science).Statistical analysisAll experiments were repeated independently at least three times. Paired comparisons were carried out using Student’s t-test. Multiple group comparisons were performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Differences were considered statistically significant at p,0.05. All analyses were carried out with the GraphPad Prism program from GraphPad Software, Inc. (San Diego, CA).Supporting InformationFigure S1 Effect of RV on the levels of cAMP in lung cancer cells.

At the end of desired treatments times, cells were fixed with ice-cold 4 paraformaldehyde for 10 min and washed twice with PBS. Then the cells were permeabilized with 0.2 Triton X-100/PBS on iceResveratrol-Induced Senescence in Cancer CellsFigure S2 Real-time RT-PCR analysis of Nox1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 expression in lung.Effects of RV treatment on the colony-forming ability of NSCLC cells.
