Figure 1. Effect of Combination treatment on Hep3B cell viability, apoptosis and cell migration.

Figure 1

(A) MTT assay on Hep3B cell line after 48h of treatments showing significant decrease in cell viability with increasing concentrations of combination treatment of ARQ 092 and sorafenib (constant ratio IC50: IC50). Combination index (CI = 0.053) at effective dose 50 (ED50) revealed strong synergy. (B) Additive effects of combination treatment of ARQ 092 and sorafenib on apoptosis in Hep3B after 48h of exposure. P values in graph represent ANOVA comparison of ARQ 092 IC50, sorafenib IC50 and Combination IC50/10. P value of ANOVA test of all groups is indicated in the corner of the graph (p <0.0001). (C) The quantification of migration (decrease of width of the wound after 24h) in Hep3B. Additive effects of combination treatment of ARQ 092 and sorafenib. P values in graph represent ANOVA comparison of ARQ 092 IC50, sorafenib IC50 and Combination I IC50/10. P value of ANOVA test of all groups is indicated in the corner of the graph (p =0.0001). Control was set as 100%, values are means ± SE from three independent experiments performed in triplicates (A) and in duplicates (B, C).
