False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Caspase-9 antibody [EPR18107] staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab202068 was shown to bind specifically to Caspase-9. A band was observed at 45 kDa in wild-type THP-1 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in CASP9 knockout cell line ab276122 (knockout cell lysate ab284219). To generate this image, wild-type and CASP9 knockout THP-1 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

GPER1 mediates anti-proliferative effects in pancreatic cancer. A, GPER1 agonist (G1, 2 μmol/L) reduces cell proliferation of both cell lines (MTT assay, 72 h), which is attenuated upon addition of GPER1 antagonist (G15). B, G1 induces PARP, caspase 3, and caspase 9 cleavage in both MiaPaCa2 and PANC1. C, Propidium iodide (PI) and Annexin V staining demonstrate apoptosis in PANC1 cells after G1 treatment (2 μmol/L, 48 h). Error bar represents SEM and unpaired two-tailed t test was used to test significance (*P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001)

Target data

Involved in the activation cascade of caspases responsible for apoptosis execution. Binding of caspase-9 to Apaf-1 leads to activation of the protease which then cleaves and activates effector caspases caspase-3 (CASP3) or caspase-7 (CASP7). Promotes DNA damage-induced apoptosis in a ABL1/c-Abl-dependent manner. Proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Cleaves BIRC6 following inhibition of BIRC6-caspase binding by DIABLO/SMAC (PubMed : 36758105, PubMed : 36758106).. Isoform 2. Lacks activity is an dominant-negative inhibitor of caspase-9.
