Hybridization experiments were performed using Cy 5-labeled ALCL-samples and Universal Human Reference RNA (Stratagene) as the Cy 3-labeled reference. The photomultiplier tube and the laser value for scanning were calibrated over all spots in both the Cy 3 and Cy 5 channels. The ratios were calibrated by applying normalization factors calculated from the mean intensities over all spots. Log ratios of the individual samples compared to the reference RNA are given.

Upper panel: Relative mRNA expression values of the major AP-1 factors in four ALCL cell lines. JUNB is the most highly expressed AP-1 factor, indicating its major contribution. All qRT-PCR assays showed >90% PCR efficiency. A relative comparison of AP-1 factor mRNA expression values could therefore be performed. MAC2A cJUN expression compared to MAC2A ACTB expression was used as calibrator (bars indicate SEM of triplicate experiment). Lower panel: relative ALK mRNA expression values in the same four ALCL cell lines (bars indicate SEM of triplicate experiment).

Upper panel: Relative mRNA expression values of the major AP-1 factors in wild-type, NPM-ALK expressing as well as mutant NPM-ALK kinase dead HEK-293 cells. Lower panel: Immunoblots of wild type, NPM-ALK, and kinase dead NPM-ALK expressing HEK293 cells. Lysates were analyzed for presence of Fos and JunB protein.

Relative ALK mRNA expression values in vector control (VC) and NPM-ALK expressing Ba/F3 cells, as well as TonBaF.1-NPM-ALK cells inducibly expressing NPM-ALK without (unind) and 48 hours after addition of 2 µg/mL doxycycline (+dox) (bars indicate SEM of triplicate experiment) (JPG, 21.5 KB)

-
The ALK negative ALCL cell line showed only weak staining for phospho-p70S6K indicating an inactive mTOR pathway compared to the NPM-ALK positive cell lines.

-
Compared to control (scrambled sh) knockdown of JUNB did not alter caspase-3 activity (36h after addition of doxycycline; bars indicate SD of triplicate experiment).

-
New protein synthesis was stopped by the addition of cycloheximide. At the indicated times points, lysates were analyzed by Western blot (WB) for the presence of JunB, ERK, and -actin. Cells treated with cycloheximide +/- rapamycin demonstrated a continuous decrease of JunB, ERK, and -actin, indicating that rapamycin does not destabilize the JunB protein itself.
