Combination of XAC 1396-11 and vinorelbine synergistically induces apoptosis of NSCLC cells. (A) H460 cells were treated for 72 h with vinorelbine, XAC 1396-11 or the combination±pan-caspase inhibitor (caspase In.), at the indicated concentrations below. Lysates were then prepared for immunoblot analysis using antibodies recognising PARP (full-length and cleaved ‘c’ PARP), XIAP, cIAP1, cIAP2, Survivin and GAPDH. Low concentrations of the single agents failed to induce PARP cleavage, whereas combination treatment provoked PARP cleavage (arrow). V1=vinorelbine 2.5 nM; X1=XAC 1396-11 5 μM; Caspase In.=50 μM; V2=vinorelbine 10 nM; X2=XAC 1396-11 10 μM; CTL=control (B). H460 cells were treated for 36 h with the first agent followed by removal of the supernatant and treatment for 36 h with the second agent, covering the concentration–effect curve (V=vinorelbine; X=XAC 1396-11). The plates were fixed and growth inhibition was determined by SRB. The CI results at the IC25, IC50 and IC75 are shown. All experiments were repeated in triplicate, error bars show s.e.m.
