Co-treatment of AZ10606120 (AZ) and temozolomide (TMZ) in U251 cells. U251 human glioblastoma cells were cultured and treated at 80% confluency with various concentrations of AZ, 50 μM TMZ and a combination of AZ + TMZ for 72 h. Cells were fixed and stained with DAPI for 1 h at room temperature. The total number of DAPI + cells were quantified across 16 random fields for each sample and treatment group. (A) Comparison of AZ, TMZ and AZ + TMZ with AZ 1 μM in U251 cells. Results were yielded from a one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD post-hoc, F(2, 33) = 3.77, p = 0.03. N = 12 replicates. TMZ versus AZ 1 μM: mean difference = 659.8 cells, 95% CI = − 562.5 to 1882, p = 0.39; TMZ versus AZ 1 μM + TMZ: mean difference = 1299 cells, 95% CI = 76.46 to 2521, *p = 0.04; AZ 1 μM versus AZ 1 μM + TMZ: mean difference = 639 cells, 95% CI = − 583.4 to 1861, p = 0.41. (B) Comparison of AZ, TMZ and AZ + TMZ with AZ 5 μM in U251 cells. Results were yielded from a one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD post-hoc, F(2, 33) = 4.05, p = 0.03. N = 12 replicates. TMZ versus AZ 5 μM: mean difference = 958.9 cells, 95% CI = − 528.6 to 2446, p = 0.27; TMZ versus AZ 5 μM + TMZ: mean difference = 2024 cells, 95% CI = 536 to 3511, **p = 0.006; AZ 5 μM versus AZ 5 μM + TMZ: mean difference = 1065 cells, 95% CI = − 422.9 to 2552, p = 0.20. (C) Comparison of AZ, TMZ and AZ + TMZ with AZ 15 μM in U251 cells. Results were yielded from a one-way repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD post-hoc, F(2, 30) = 3.72. N = 12 patients. TMZ versus AZ 15 μM: mean difference = 5152 cells, 95% CI = 3728 to 6576; TMZ versus AZ 15 μM + TMZ: mean difference = 6013 cells, 95% CI = 4552 to 7474; AZ 15 μM versus AZ 15 μM + TMZ: mean difference = 860.7 cells, 95% CI = − 629.9 to 2351, p = 0.34. ****p < 0.0001. (D) Comparison of AZ, TMZ and AZ + TMZ with AZ 25 μM in U251 cells. Results were yielded from a one-way repeated measures ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD post-hoc, F(2, 33) = 3.31, p = 0.049. N = 12 patients. TMZ versus AZ 25 μM: mean difference = 8848 cells, 95% CI = 7891 to 9805; TMZ versus AZ 25 μM + TMZ: mean difference = 9609 cells, 95% CI = 8652 to 10,567; AZ 25 μM versus AZ 25 μM + TMZ: mean difference = 761.4 cells, 95% CI = − 196.1 to 1719, p = 0.14; ****p < 0.0001.
