a Effects of either NFD or WFD on GNE-617 (GNE) therapeutic effects. Volumes of Lu-139 tumors at day 12 are shown relative to baseline (day 0) volumes. Each bar represents a tumor. n = 8 (Normal diet groups) or 6 (NFD and WFD) tumors. P<0.0001 (Normal diet vs NFD, GNE-617); P<0.0001 (NFD vs WFD). b NAD levels in Lu-139 tumors from mice treated with NFD, NAMPTi (GNE) or both (Combo). Each symbol represents one tumor. n = 4 (CTRL), 6 (NFD) or 8 (all others) tumors. P = 0.9034 (CTRL vs NFD); P<0.0001 (CTRL vs GNE); P = 0.0016 (GNE vs Combo). c Growth curves of SCLC (Lu-139), SCPC (NCI-H660) and NEPCa (KUCaP13) xenograft tumors in mice treated with vehicle (CTRL), GNE-617 alone (GNE) or GNE-617 plus NFD (Combo). KUCaP13 graph also includes results from mice treated only with NFD. n = 6 (CTRL and GNE) or 8 (GNE/NFD) Lu-139 tumors; n = 6 (CTRL), 5 (GNE) or 9 (GNE/NFD) NCI-H660 tumors; n = 4 (CTRL), 6 (GNE and NFD) or 10 (GNE/NFD) KUCaP13 tumors. P = 0.0002 (CTRL vs GNE/NFD, day 36, Lu-139); P = 0.0335 (GNE vs GNE/NFD, day 36, Lu-139); P <0.0001 (CTRL vs GNE/NFD, day 53, NCI-H660); P = 0.0065 (GNE vs GNE/NFD, day 53, NCI-H660); P = 0.0053 (CTRL vs GNE/NFD, day 28, KUCaP13); P = 0.0005 (NFD vs GNE/NFD, day 28, KUCaP13); P = 0.0074 (GNE vs GNE/NFD, day 28, KUCaP13). d Analyses using two structurally dissimilar NAMPT inhibitors (GNE-617 and TLM-118). (left) Compound structures. (right panels) Growth curves of 87-5 SCLC tumors in mice treated with NFD, a NAMPTi (GNE-617 or TLM-118) or a combination of NFD + the indicated NAMPTi. n = 10 (CTRL, NAMPTi), 7 (NFD) or 12 (Combo) tumors in GNE-617 experiments; n = 8 tumors in TLN-118 experiments. P = 0.0029 (NAMPTi vs Combo, day 53, GNE-617); P = 0.0364 (NAMPTi vs Combo, day 56, TLM-118). Data are presented as mean plus the SEM. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001 as determined by one-way ANOVA with a post hoc test (ac) or by two-tailed t test (d). ns. not significant.
