ONL1204 rescues A20 B lymphoma cells from FasL-mediated apoptosis. The ability of ONL1204 to inhibit FasL-mediated apoptosis of murine A20 B lymphoma cells was evaluated in vitro. Microvesicle preparations were isolated from transfected Neuro2a cells that expressed either murine mFasL (mFasL VP) or the vector control (Neo VP) as described previously [40]. A20 lymphoma cells were incubated for 4 h with increasing concentrations of ONL1204 or the vehicle control together with a 1:100 dilution of either mFasL VP or Neo VP and then cultured overnight in the presence of 3H-thymidine. Percent survival was assessed by 3H-thymidine incorporation using the formula (cpm of A20 cells cultured with mFasL VP + ONL1204 or vehicle)/(cpm of A20 cells incubated with media alone). A20 cells cultured with mFasL-VP alone served as the positive control (≈ 8% survival), while A20 cells cultured with neo-VP alone served as the negative control (≈ 100% survival). Data presented as % survival ± SEM. N = 6 per group, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001
