BH3 profiling determines BCL-2 dependence of ALL cell lines. (A) Summary of binding chart between BH3-only peptides and different antiapoptotic BCL-2 family members, adapted from Certo et al.13 (B-E) For BH3 profiling, at least 5 × 108 cells were used to isolate mitochondria by differential centrifugation for each cell line. Mitochondria were then treated with 100 μM BH3 peptides for 35 minutes at room temperature and cytochrome c release assessed by ELISA. Profiles were put in order of most to least primed. (B) RS4;11 cells. (C) SEM-k2 cells. (D) 697 cells. (E) CEM-c1 cells. Values are representative of the mean of 3 independent experiments (+ SD).
