Mean plasma concentration versus time after single dose oral administration of IC87114 and RFM in wistar rats( n = 6).

T24 cells were treated with vehicle, SIL (2 uM), DOX (200 nM) as indicated. Cells were isolated 6 and 12 hours after exposure, and the phosphorylation of γH2AX was determined, with the fold increase in phosphorylation shown.

LNCaP-C4 prostate cancer cells were suspended in matrigel and transplanted under the kidney capsule of male nude mice hosts. Mice were treated with vehicle-only (10% EtOH, 90% olive oil) control, cilomilast or NVP-ABE171 by gavage (n=7-11 for each respective group)The xenografts LNCaP-C4 xenografts were excised, fixed in formalin, and embedded in paraffin blocks. IHC with Ki67 (proliferation), TUNEL (apoptosis), or p21 (senescence) was performed. Representative Ki67 and TUNEL photomicrographs for cilomilast and NVP-ABE171 treatment group are shown.

β-Catenin levels in 293T cells treated with PDE5 inhibitor in the presence or absence of Wnt3a. (a) Tadalafil reduced β-catenin protein levels. Immunofluorescence and confocal images of 293T cells treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or tadalafil at 10 uM in the presence or absence of recombinant Wnt3a for 24 h.

(G) Immunoblot analysis for TAZ and Nanog in PCSC after vardenafil treatments. (H) Cytotoxicity to DDP in PCSC treated with indicated concentrations of vardenafil. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05 versus PC3 cells, vardenafil at 0 μM, or DDP at 0 μM; ++p < 0.01, +p < 0.05 versus vardenafil at 0 μM.

D, average percentage difference of cell growth by PDE4D inhibitors between STK11 mutant and wild-type cell lines. The sensitivity on STK11mt cell lines represents the difference of average percentage growth between STK11-mutant (NCI-H1993 and NCI-H1395) and wild-type cell lines (NCI-H82 and NCI-H524). Average percentage growth of each cell line by a PDE4D inhibitor was based on the DMSO control. Cells were treated with a 20 μmol/L of PDE4D inhibitors for 3, 7, and 10 days incubation, respectively. The cell viability was determined using CellTiter-Blue fluorescence. *, P < 0.01 and **, P < 0.05 in the difference between STK11-mutant and wild-type cell lines. All cells used in the experiment were cultured in normal conditioned RPMI medium with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptavidin.

Viability of H9c2 cells incubated with MRN-HSA-NPs (black bars) compared with MRN-Lactate (grey bars) at different MRN concentrations, at (a) 4 hours, (b) 24 hours and (c) 48 hours. The graph shows a representative result of mean±SD (n=3). ****P<0.0001, ***P<0.001, **P<0.01 and *P<0.05 were considered significant based on Sidak’s posthoc analysis.

mRNA and protein expression levels of Id‑1 following treatment with 5 μM sildenafil for 24 h. (A) Relative mRNA expression levels of Id‑1 in the HemECs were significantly decreased by 44.2%, according to the 2‑ΔΔCq method (***P=0.0006 vs. control). (B) Western blotting revealed that the protein expression levels of Id‑1 markedly decreased following treatment with sildenafil when compared with the negative control. The TCA 8113 cell line was used as a positive control. HemECs, hemangioma endothelial cells; SIL, sildenafil; ID‑1, inhibitor of differentiation 1.

Bioactive compounds inhibit recombinant HDAC activity. Recombinant HDACs were incubated with flavonoid Luteolin (C) for 2 h prior to the addition of cell permeable HDAC substrates. Luteolin inhibited activity of most classes I, IIa, and IIb HDAC isoforms.
