BETi enhanced the growth inhibition of rapamycin and reduced the rapamycin-induced activation of AKT in PanNET Cells. (a) Synergistic growth inhibition of CPI203 and rapamycin on BON-1 or QGP-1 cells. BON-1 or QGP-1 cells were treated with CPI203, rapamycin or in combination as indicated. Cell viability was determined at 72 h. Error bars represent S.E.M., n=3. Combination index (CI) was calculated using CompuSyn software. *P<0.01 versus single treatment; #P<0.01 versus one single treatment but P=0.01 versus the other single treatment. (b) Synergistic growth inhibition of (+)-JQ1 and rapamycin on BON-1 or QGP-1 cells, which was performed in the same way as that in (a). (c) Immunoblots of MYC, mTOR downstream targets and AKT at 24 and 48 h of BON-1 and QGP-1 cells treated with 50 nM CPI203 (BON-1) or 500 nM (QGP-1), 1 μM rapamycin or in combinations. (d) and (e) Immunoblots of MYC, mTOR downstream targets and AKT at 48 h of BON-1 cells (d) or of QGP-1 cells (e) treated with a range of doses of CPI203 or rapamycin as indicated
