Subthreshold inhibition of NHE1 by cariporide synergistically potentiates erlotinib-dependent inhibition of 3D growth and invadopodia.
All experiments were conducted in PANC-1 cells in the absence or presence of 100 ng/ml EGF with 1 μM cariporide and in increasing erlotinib concentrations.
(A) 3D Matrigel growth as in Figure 2. Mean ± SEM, unpaired Student’s t test. *P < .05, **P < .01, and ****P < .0001 compared with the control cells and †P < .01, ††P < .001, and †††P < .0001 compared with the respective EGF cells for each line.
(B) Invadopodia activity measured as in Figure 3. Mean ± SEM, unpaired Student’s t test. **P < .01 and ***P < .001 compared with the control cells and †P < .01, ††P < .001, and †††P < .0001 compared to the respective EGF cells for each line.
