BC200 knock-down by siRNA or LNA GapmeR reduces cell viability. (a) BC200 was knocked down in each of the indicated cell lines and viability was assessed over the course of 96 h by MTT assay. Non-targeting siRNA and GapmeR controls were transfected in an identical manner to control for transfection mediated toxicity. Viability was measured relative to untreated cells at each timepoint. Data represents the mean of six biological replicates +/− standard error. (b) MCF-7 cells were collected every eight hours following BC200 siRNA transfection and protein was isolated and analyzed by SDS/PAGE and western blot. To assess caspase cleavage, blots were probed with a Caspase-8 antibody as well as a tubulin antibody as loading control
