The CLBL-1 cells were treated with DMSO control or pevonedistat (0.1–0.7 μM) for 1, 4, 6, 12 or 24 hours. Cell lysates were made according to the previously published methods16 (link) and were described in detail in the supplementary data. For detection of p-IκBα, CLBL-1 cells were stimulated with 10 ng/mL of human recombinant (rh) TNFα (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) for 5 minutes before preparing cell lysates in both pevonedistat and DMSO-treated groups. For detection of cleaved Caspase 3, and phosphorylated Histone 2AX, cells were not stimulated with any cytokine. The following commercial antibodies were used in western blots: p-IκBα (1:1000, Cell Signalling Technology, Danvers, MA, 14D4), cleaved caspase-3 (1:1000, Cell Signalling Technology, Danvers, MA, 5A1E) and p-H2AX (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, sc-517348), and β-actin (1:5000, Sigma-Aldrich, AC-15).
