Human/Mouse/Rat eIF4E Antibody

Detection of eIF4E by Western Blot

mTORC1-mediated upregulation of p21 requires 4E-BP1 phosphorylation.(a) Effect of mTOR inhibitors torin-1 (250 nM) and rapamycin (100 nM) on p21 levels in different cell lines. Cells were treated for 24 h with the indicated drugs and protein levels were subsequently analysed by western blot. (b) Protein levels in MEFs infected simultaneously with lentiviruses expressing either scramble or TSC2 shRNAs together with control or 4E-BP1-4A. (c) Protein levels in U2OS, HCT116 and 293T cells transfected with 4E-BP1-4A mutant alone (U2OS and HCT116 cells) or in combination with pBabe-p21 plasmid (293T cells). (d) Western blot depicting protein levels in MEFs following co-infection with lentiviruses expressing the indicated shRNAs. (e) Primary MEFs were infected with lentiviruses expressing scramble, TSC2 or eIF4E shRNAs in combination with control or 4E-BP1-4A. Protein levels were measured by immunoblotting. For each panel, all the western blots correspond to samples from the same experiment; in some cases, samples were distributed in several electrophoretic gels run in parallel.

p38 and ERK1/2 trigger distinct patterns of cytokine release. A, Heatmap of the release of IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, GM-CSF, and G-CSF by TR146 OECs at 24 h post-candidalysin stimulation in the presence of BIRB796, SP600125, Trametinib, or Gefitinib. The heatmap was generated from the data in fig. S2A. B, Release of GM-CSF from TR146 cells transfected with a pool of Hsp27-targeted siRNAs 72 h prior to candidalysin stimulation for 24 h. Graph shows means of three biological replicates + SD and is expressed as fold change relative to siRNA control + candidalysin. C, Relative expression of IL6 6 h post-candidalysin stimulation in the presence of BIRB796. Graph shows means of three biological replicates + SD and is expressed as fold change relative to DMSO + candidalysin. D and E, IL-6 released into the supernatant D, and present in cell extracts E, before (0 h), after 6 h and after 24 h of candidalysin treatment with or without BIRB796. Graphs show means of three biological replicates + SD and are expressed as fold change relative to DMSO + candidalysin at 24 h. F, Representative immunoblot showing phosphorylated (p-) and total eIF4E 30 min and 2 h post-candidalysin stimulation in the presence of BIRB796. Immunoblots are representative of three biological replicates. GAPDH is a loading control. G, Graphical quantification of immunoblots as in F. Scatter plot shows the mean ± SD of three biological replicates expressed as ratios of p-eIF4E/eIF4E. Statistical significance for B and C was quantified by one sample t test compared to a hypothetical value = 1. Statistical significance in D, E and G was quantified by paired t-tests as indicated in the graphs. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
