Western blot analysis for Akt, P-Akt, and cleaved poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. U87 cells were incubated with 200 nM, 10 nM, and 0.1 nM of staurosporine encapsulated in liposomes and staurosporine for 32 hours.

Staurosporine reduces cerebellar astrocytes viability. (a) Cerebellar astrocytes were treated with staurosporine 0.1 μM, 0.25 μM, and 0.5 μM for 24 h and the cell viability was measured by MTT transformation. (b) Cerebellar astrocytes were treated with staurosporine 0.5 μM for 6, 12, and 24 h and the cell viability was measured by MTT transformation. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of four independent experiments. ∗ is significantly different from control (P < 0.05).

Morphological changes of astrocytes induced by St are evidenced by the rearrangement of cytoskeletal proteins. Astrocytes were treated with St (0.5 μM) for 12 hours and then were labelled with rhodamine-phalloidin or immunostained for tubulin. Representative images of phase contrast, rhodamine-phalloidin, and tubulin are shown in control and St treated astrocytes. Scale bar represents 50 μm.

Cell were cultured in the absence (a-f) or presence of staurosporine (STSN, 5 × 10-9M) or cytochalasin D (CD, 1 µg/ml) for 1 (upper panel) or 2 (lower panel) days at low density and stained for F-actin (Phalloidin) and type II collagen (Type II). STSN: Staurosporine.

Induction of apoptosis with staurosporine resulting in activation of the ICE-NIRF probe. Gli36 cells were treated with 50 µM staurosporine for 24 hours (A-C) or with the same percentage of DMSO (0.01%) to which experimental wells were exposed (D-488nm laser, E-633nm laser and F-bright field). To examine the role of caspase-1 in staurosporine-induced apoptosis and probe activation, cells were coincubated in caspase-1 inhibitor (10 µM) and staurosporine (G-I). Staurosporine induces apoptosis, indicated by the positive annexin staining viewed with the 488-nm laser (A), which colocalized with activated probe viewed with the 633-nm laser (B). Coincubation of the caspase-1 inhibitor with staurosporine did not completely block apoptosis, indicated by the relatively higher number of apoptotic cells stained with annexin (G), as those that activated the probe (H). Magnification, x 40; scale bar, 50 µM.

BT-20 or BT-474 cell culture were plated on six-well plates and were treated with staurosporine (200 nM) after 24 h. After 6 h of treatment, cells were immunostained with anti-FAK 4.47 antibody (white arrowheads mark some focal adhesions).
