We demonstrate here that the chronic treatment (24 h) of MDA-MB-453 cells with SKi promoted the loss of SK1 (Mr∼42 kDa) expression from these cells (Figure 4) consistent with our previous findings that SKi induces the ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of SK1 in cancer cells (Loveridge et al, 2010; Tonelli et al, 2010; Lim et al, 2011). Here, SKI is linked to cancer.
