Scaff10-8 is not cytotoxic.
(A) Western blot showing protein expression of AKAP-Lbc and RhoA in five different cell lines and in primary rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells: All cells express full-length AKAP-Lbc (308 kDa) and shorter splice variants. RhoA (22 kDa) is also expressed in all cells. MW = molecular weight. (B) Cytotoxicity was assessed after 24–72 h of incubation with Scaff10-8 (3, 30, 100 μM). Staurosporine as inducer of apoptosis was used as a positive control. Absorption was determined at 450 nm and was related to medium absorption (blank). DMSO was used as a control. Normalised to untreated cells after 24 h, three independent experiments with four data points each are shown. n = 3. Statistically significant differences were determined applying one-way ANOVA with posthoc Bonferroni. Mean ± SEM is plotted.
