SIK cultures were treated at confluence with 50 ng/ml Oncostatin M (OSM) (R&D Systems), 3 µM sodium arsenite, 6 µM potassium antimony tartrate (antimonite) or not treated. In some experiments cell cultures were pretreated for 30 min with 10 µM U1026 (an inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2) (LC Laboratories) or 1 µM JAK Inhibitor I (Calbiochem) before addition of OSM, arsenite or antimonite. To test the influence of hydrocortisone on arsenite or antimonite effects, SIK cultures were grown to confluence in normal culture medium, then switched to medium containing serum depleted of steroids by charcoal/dextran treatment60 in the presence and absence of combinations of 10 µM hydrocortisone, 3 µM arsenite and 6 µM antimonite. RNA was prepared using Trizol reagent (Life Technologies), followed by cDNA preparation using an Applied Biosystems reverse transcription kit. cDNA was analyzed by qPCR with Taqman assays (Applied Biosystems), normalizing to MAPK1, a gene product demonstrated by transcriptomic analysis not to be changed by arsenite and antimonite treatments.
